A Second Family
Democratic Republic of the Congo2019documentary8'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2020)
Genuine sport emotions, youthful energy and plenty of joy. These are the surroundings in which teenage Amina has been growing up and living every day. A few years ago her mother was unable to find a place for her in a traditional school, so she signed up her hearing daughter for school for deaf students. The girl has been very successful there, she has learned the sign language and in 2018 became a coach of the first basketball team made of deaf children. This is yet another proof that barriers do not exist.
