An estimated 43.3 million of the forcibly displaced are children below 18 years of age.

The film is an opportunity to hear from Rahaf, a 7-year-old girl, Syrian refugee. Her impressions and perspective is seen through a color lens. Indigo is the last shade of the pink color family before the blue color range. In Art therapy blue is often referring to despair and pink is considered the color of caring and the color of empathy.
The film’s objective was to give a voice to the voiceless. Indigo is a metaphor to our last chance to give the refugee crisis the attention it deserves and the actions it requires…
Indigo was officially selected at the International Short Film Festival of Cyprus in 2020, at the Tampere Film Festival of Finland, and at the European Short Film Festival in Brest.
