Listen

A child’s world is sometimes full of problems that are not always easy to talk about with parents or friends. In the Netherlands, the Kindertelefoon special telephone line helps children – the equivalent of the Czech Child Safety Line. The film captures the true confessions of anonymous children: an abandoned girl who spent almost a week alone at home without her parents; a boy who wonders if he is gay; an anxious child who lives in a shelter as a refugee and is afraid of the future. Sometimes children even call with amusing stories, or they just want to talk. Someone is always on hand to listen patiently. (One World)
