Film Education

8-year-old Tanans looks round the classroom, wide-eyed. He can’t understand a word of the other children’s merry chat, and all the new rules in his life are totally foreign to him. Tanans is from the Congo and has only been in the Netherlands for a few weeks after escaping from an Ugandan refugee camp with his family. He doesn’t speak Dutch yet and for him it all sounds just like a guttural »chrr« sound. He’s living in a nice house for the first time ever, he can ride a bike and soon learns that playing football isn’t allowed absolutely everywhere.
