Childhood documentary series
Children's Worlds investigates the social construction of childhood out of the western cultural framework. It is a documentary series depicting an ethnographic survey. Our aim is to showcase the present of childhood, "to hear the voice of children" from their own perspective and through a lens of ethnographic observation within the various frameworks in which they engage. Moreover, while bringing forth the cultural differences in the modern globalized world as a unity within variety and not as a base of discrimination, we aim to raise awareness, presenting the worlds of childhood as a material leading us to another possibility of our species.
