Do You Think God Loves Immigrant Kids, Mom? | Rena Lusin Bitmez
Filmmaker’s statement
This film tells the struggle of Armenian families migrated to Turkey/Istanbul who try to provide education for their children despite all the circumstances. In the core of this struggle, which started in 2003, there stands a dining hall centered school, located in a basement of a church where migrant children receive education from volunteer educators. During the film, the struggle of children living in a foreign land, their daily lives, their former habits and longings are told through the eyes of migrant children.
We are ever so very grateful to our Patrons and Friends for supporting the festival.
