Koen Suidgeest: Karla’s Arrival
“Teenage mother Sujeylin Aguilar raises her newborn on the same streets she herself grew up in. Set in Managua, Nicaragua, the film explores the universal issue of second generation of street children.”
This is the brief presentation that is given by the director Koen Suidgeest about his very succesful, well made, non-sentimental and yet touching creative documentary. The director deserves credit for not only his film but also for his extensive work getting the film around (now seen by more than 1 million people he writes on his site), and making the film be the first step to be engaged in helping.
The director communicates strongly and competent through a blog, facebook, website, newsletter etc. Below the site of the film + a site on the initiative to get the babies off the streets. Yes, films can make changes happen!
