Synopsis:
Imagine being locked up in your house and not being able to go to school. This is what happened to Safia from Libya. It was too dangerous because of the war and if she wanted to go outside, she had to wear a headscarf and long clothes. Safia didn’t want this.
Together with her parents and two younger brothers, she had to endure a dangerous boat trip to flee to the Netherlands.
Now she lives in a refugee camp. She is able to go to school again but stills feels locked up. All her friends inside the camp move away one by one. This is why she decided not to make friends anymore. She describes her life as ‘Living in Black’ because she feels it failed enormously.
But during the summer holidays, there is a ray of light: she is allowed to go to the youth camp with other refugee children. She loves it and believes this is how her life should look like.
By engaging in activities like boxing, singing and drawing, she manages to keep herself together. She knows she is strong. But when will my life start again, she thinks out loud.
