Mirjam Marks, Netherlands, The, Surinam, 2005
Synopsis
All over the world, children use music and dance to express their feelings: in Suriname, Burundi, Morocco, Somalia and the Netherlands. They play, learn, develop their talents and gain self-confidence. And whether they live in a project in the inner city or a row house somewhere in the provinces, what's bred in the bone will come out in the flesh. In a tidy, typically Dutch backyard, girls practise Bollywood dances; against a background of palm trees and dilapidated houses, Surinamese teenagers perform a self-composed song, a thirteen-year-old rapping "When I make music, I feel better."
