Growing Up In the Streets
Burbuqe Berisha
Albania 2005 / 13 Mins
This
is the story of Rrezarta, Drenusha, Kosovar and Fisnik: children whose
health and even lives are endangered growing up on the streets of Kosovo
as they try to earn a living...
My Promised Land (Kosovodrömmar)
Jonas Söderqvist
Oskar Sjödin
Sweden 2008 / 58 Mins
In
Kosovo, Dafi and Teuta are planning their wedding. Teuta works in an American
army kitchen in Iraq and Dafi is doing various jobs, trying to make ends
meet. In the vacuum the US-led invasion left behind, unemployment is sky-high
and almost all parts of the civil infrastructure have crumbled. Life in
Kosovo offers small or no possibilities to create a safe haven for a young
family. But Dafi and Teuta struggle on, trying to make their life as good
as possible.
How do you build a future and start a family in a country torn by war? Even though Kosovo has now declared independence, it will be a long way to a normal life for the citizens of the newborn state.
The only career opportunities in Kosovo are those with the UNMIK organization, the KFOR-forces or with some of the multitude of American army contractors providing the US army bases with stores, restaurants and supply work. So what happens when the armies move to the next conflict?
