MEMORIES OF A FORGOTTEN CHILDHOOD

The short film "Memory of a Forgotten Childhood" deals with the topic of addiction in a parental home through the eyes of a child. The film is supposed to form a fundament of a teaching package, meant to be used in schools, addiction counseling, workshops, etc. to educate and discuss the topic of addiction.

With the film "Memories of a Forgotten Childhood" we aim to make the topic of addiction heard in the media and sensitize viewers to the problem.

In addition to the classic filmic distribution, we have set ourselves the goal of an educational evaluation in the form of a teaching package. The film is to serve as a basis for discussion at schools or addiction counseling centers, in order to show and address the problem.

That way, we would like to give affected children in particularly, but also affected parents, the courage to open up to people they trust in order to take the initial hurdle back to normality.

The subject of addiction, especially alcohol addiction, receives far less media attention in Germany than is necessary. Especially at a time of global crisis, when people are even more confined to their own four walls than ever before, the problem takes on a much more drastic tone. Families suffer more from addicted members because there are less opportunities to get out. In addition, those affected suffer more from the social distance to friends and acquaintances and consequently to potential confidants. Especially children, who are not yet able to get out of their predicament on their own, are mostly forgotten by the general public and should be reason enough for all of us to do something against addiction in the parental home.

We did not forget you.

Successful funding will primarily help us to carry out the production according to the high standards of sustainable filmmaking, under the direction of our green consultant.

In addition, however, part of the money will go towards the educational mission we are striving for. This includes the research and creation of the educational packages, as well as their distribution to schools, prevention centers and other contact points for people suffering from addiction.
