Miguel Fragata & Inês Barahona

“Do Bosque para o Mundo” [From the Woods and into the World] tells the story of Farid, a 12-year-old Afghan boy, whose story could match those of so many others boys if it weren’t for the fact that his mother sent him to Europe to a safe place. Farid is a refugee. “Do Bosque para o Mundo” confronts us with a story of hardship and courage, and it makes us look at our own story.
