Uprooted
Draft Productions (UK/Türkiye)
‘All of a sudden, a loud noise occurred… And a ringing… Our house was
hit by a rocket launcher. That was the last moment I saw my father, us
looking at each other from afar.’ Uprooted tells the story of the
devastating effects of war and the bonds within a family. Ibrahim and
his family flee war-torn Syria, escaping to Lebanon and then to Egypt,
before eventually settling in Turkey. Despite extreme hardship, loss and
longing, this is piece is about about hope and resilience, adaptation,
and the will to live and go on.
