How do you spell home?

Un documentaire de Louisiana Mees-Fongang

As the 15 young refugees in the Juneco community centre grow up without their families, friendships are made. Helen and Dalina, two Eritrean girls, share the same mother tongue, Tigrinya. They find comfort in each other’s company, sharing stories, religion, songs and uncertainties. As they integrate with their new country, How Do You Spell Home? looks at their search for a sense of place.
