Another Planet Director Wins Prize in Kiev

English

 Another Planet

 
"This creative documentary-feature, shot on four continents, presents the hidden face of our planet, and the general and moral crisis of our world," according to the festival directors.
 
"We can follow the various, irrational stages of defenselessness as the characters in all seven stories, all minors, accept their fate with quasi humility. The appalling everyday life of child laborers, child prostitutes and child soldiers is revealed to us in Congo, Cambodia and Ecuador. "Another Planet" intends, by presenting problems which have such a devastating effect on children's lives - starvation, exploitation, and forced conscription - to shed light on some philosophical questions of human existence and progress, through expressive images and the power of cinematographic language."
 

Another Planet has participated at 58 film festival and won 18 awards since 2008.
