Alla ricerca di Josephine
Regno Unito / 2012 / 10’ / Documentario

For over two years my wife and I have been sponsoring Josephine, a Ugandan girl only a few months older than our own daughter, Mango. Finding Josephine is the story of the journey from our middle-class first world living room to rural Uganda as we try to understand the virtues and pitfalls of charity and hope to bring Josephine and Mango together to learn the real meaning of giving, taking, difference and equality.
