ONLY HUMAN II, 25min., Germany, Documentary
Directed by Katerina Giannakopoulou
People – Cultures – Destinies – one project. When art overcomes borders.
The participants of the “Only human” project tell touching stories about their flight, their arrival and life in Germany, their difficulties, hopes and encounters. When, due to the war, many people fled to Germany in 2015, the non-profit association “music4everybody! e.V.” started an integrative music theater project with the aim of making it easier for young people with a refugee and migration background to arrive in Germany. Together with young local people and under the guidance of professional coaches, they build bridges between people of different cultures through art. Only Human gives a voice to young people regardless of language, culture or religion. Through a creative process, we engage on par with each other and develop an understanding for each other and work together for a more diverse and inclusive society.
