MISS KIET’S CHILDREN
Netherlands 2016 – Director: Petra Lataster-Czisch, Peter Lataster – Original language: Arabic, Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 114 min.
Miss Kiet works as a primary school teacher in a small Dutch village. She teaches an integration class, where traumatised refugee children attempt to learn a new language, understand western society and build a new life. A moving and sensitively observed film, always on the children’s eye level, that will go straight to your heart. Monika Haas
