Ciné ONU: PLAY: Discover the power of play

Etienne Claret, , 2022
45 min., OmdU
This documentary, by Etienne Claret, takes us on a journey with professional snowboarder and Olympian Pat Burgener, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation, and the NGO Right To Play to meet refugee children in Lebanon who are growing up in difficult circumstances. The movie shows different perspectives on what play and play-based education can do in children's lives and how play can motivate them to shape their own lives. We witness their reality and how they gain courage and hope through various forms of play, including on their first day of play in the snow in the Lebanese mountains.
