The Walk

Asil, a young Syrian refugee in Turkey, is traumatised by the loss of her family and her home. Her story, told from a child’s point of view, is typical of the reality lived by millions of migrant children, and is brought to life in a gigantic puppet named Amal. On a walk from the Syrian border in Turkey to the other side of Europe, Amal is escorted and animated by a group of refugee puppeteers. Amal’s journey is one of compassion and discovery.
