Short documentary
Touching Darkness
Vítek, aged 10, lives in darkness. How does he perceive the world? This short animated film takes us into his daily life, where hearing, touch and a child’s imagination play a major role.
Grace is one of 8 siblings living in a Kenyan farming village. Rain falls only twice a year and is vital to her family and neighbours – it keeps crops, animals and people alive. But with changing climate comes increasing drought. Many farmers leave to work in the city.
Grace is worried that her father, who makes difficult situations easier with kindness and humour, will leave too. But he decides to fight the drought. The film shows how water, which is readily available in Czechia, is very important on the other side of the world. It also shows the father’s struggle to keep the family together despite the harsh conditions.
