Save the Children Documentary: Children on the move and the right to education

14-year-old Mira from Syria lives in a run-down refugee camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Together with her parents and four siblings, she has tried to cross the border into the EU country Croatia 12 times. But they’ve been sent back by border patrols or hindered by poor weather conditions every time.

For Mira, as for other children on the move, life is stressful and she finds it difficult to achieve any continuity in her education. Not to speak of the many children on the move around the world that have no access to education at all. But thanks to a program run by Save the Children, Mira and other children in the camp have the opportunity to attend school together with Bosnian children. So while she waits for her family to plan another exodus out of Bosnia again, Mira goes to school every day and dreams of her future career as a police officer.

Regardless of whether the children stay in the camp for just a short time or for several years, Save the Children’s goal stays the same – for all children to have an education.
