Echoes of IS #wesharethescars

This web documentary, directed by Tessa Pope, consists of twelve captivating stories by people who have all been affected by the Islamic State. These are people from very different backgrounds who bare their souls and share their life-changing experiences with the world for the first time.

After being selected by IDFA DocLab in 2017, this year Echoes of IS has been selected to be part of the educational program section of the festival. It’s the first time that IDFA  has selected an interactive documentary to be part of this program. Echoes of IS will be presented to schools and there will be private screenings for teenagers, young adults and teachers. With this project, we want to open up a dialogue. We believe the stories from Echoes are the perfect vehicles to open up a dialogue around sensitive current issues including radicalization, migration, identity politics.
