Shadow Game is a coming-of-age narrative about young asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere.
About the initiative
Crossing a border is referred to as a ‘game’. So there’s a train game, a bus game and a truck game. The film Shadow Game is a poignant and painful depiction of how Europe deals with children who are looking for a safe haven. It is a raw and personal story with universal themes that young people in particular can relate to. The Fred Foundation is supporting the impact Shadow Game promotes:
- Improved awareness
- Empowering young people by letting them tell their own stories
- Bringing young people together from diverse backgrounds
That’s why we donate to Shadow Game
The young people tell their own stories in this film, bringing you in close because it’s not solely about being a refugee. It makes you aware of the violence at Europe’s borders and gives you the understanding and leverage to take action.
