Simpele dromen

Overview

As a boy, Jamal was kidnapped from a rural area of Sudan to fight in a war he did not want anything to do with. A fight against his own people, which eventually took his leg and his freedom. While working on a prosthesis with filmmaker Pitou Schütz, Jamal explains how losing a leg brought him to the Netherlands. This results in a story, partly visualised through animation, about his flight from brute violence and his search for a new future.
