Jag, Julia - Short film

  • Giuliana Michaj

I was fortunate to be a part of the process of creating this powerful little short film which highlights the need for improving Children's rights and Womens rights in situations of domestic violence crimes. The film is about 14- year old Julia. She lives at home with her family, and loves to create fun and unplanned content for social media and her friends. Underneath the bubbly surface, her reality is filled with witnessing something terrible every day. This is a film about a little person carrying the weight of her reality on her shoulders and the struggle for change, and hope about a better future. This movie was made to be a great stand-alone movie but also to be a part of a campaign raising awareness of Children as not only witnesses to crime but as victims of crime. I am a board member of Agera Kvinnojour (Women's shelter in Sweden), a women's rights advocate and an executive producer on this film and coordinated the project between the production company and the women's shelter. Film is by Arvin Kananian (director, script) and Mistre Tesfaye (producer) and production company Makeriet film in collaboration with Agera Kvinnojour. Actors: Ylvali Rurling, Olle Sarri, Anna Littorin. Official selection for : Gothenburg International Film Festival and BUFF International Film Festival. #film #shortfilm
