Little Amal on the BIG screen!

We are thrilled to announce the World Premiere of The Walk at the DOC NYC Film Festival in New York, America’s largest documentary festival.

The Walk is a feature film about the innocence of childhood, and the power of imagination, in a time of crisis. Asil is a young Syrian refugee awaiting documents in Turkey while processing the trauma of losing her home and family. Her story gives voice to Little Amal, who represents millions of migrant and displaced children in a walk from the Syrian border in Turkey all the way across Europe: the cross-continental journey of a lifetime.

“Political Urgency and Poetic Creativity: The Walk opts not for speechifying or arguing. It honors, rather, the kernel of life a puppet can embody, built by hand and sprung straight from the heart.”

It was created in partnership with 469 dedicated and passionate arts, humanitarian, civil society, religious and educational partners, to whom we are endlessly grateful. Little Amal is inspired by a character in the play The Jungle by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson.
