Do You Think God Loves Immigrant Kids, Mom? Director Dena Lusin Bitmez | Doc | 2019 | Turkey

Synopsis

This film tells the struggle of Armenian families who migrated to Turkey/Istanbul in 2003 with the intent of providing education for their children despite circumstances. In the midst of their new home stands a dining hall/school, located in a basement of a church where migrant children receive education from volunteer educators.

Told through the eyes of 4 migrant children, we learn about their daily lives, former habits, longings, and hardships associated with living in a foreign land.
