On Monday, November 22 at 16:00, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center will present an exclusive documentary film “Give Me Back My Dad”! at the Premier Palace hotel. The film raises one of the most pressing and painful topics of our time: childhood without a father. We have collected stories of children whose parents were imprisoned or forcibly kidnapped after the occupation of Crimea. Some of them saw the brutal detention of their fathers and now they have one request: “Give Me Back My Dad”!
Until 2014, Crimea was a wonderful place for many people of different athniciteies and faiths, but after the Russian occupation of the peninsula in 2014, everything changed. Repression, persecution, arrests are the current realities, from which not only adults but also children suffer.
The number of people imprisoned in politically motivated cases continues to increase every year in the occupied Crimea. Already more than 200 children are forced to grow up without their own father, without his daily support and care.
The team of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center hopes and does everything so that in the near future every child in the occupied Crimea could hug his or her father and truly enjoy every day of childhood.
To achieve this goal, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center has created a short documentary film "Give Me Back My Dad"!
In our film, we have collected the stories of children whose parents were imprisoned or forcibly kidnapped after the occupation of Crimea. Some of them saw the brutal detention of their fathers and now they have one request: "Give Me Back My Dad"!
With this documentary, we want to draw the attention of the Ukrainian and international community to the problem of political prisoners in Crimea, as well as their children, who suffer no less than their parents. That is why our movie is available in seven languages: Ukrainian, Arabic, German, English, Turkish, Italian and Spanish.
The event will be held taking into account all quarantine restrictions.
