Journey to the Sun

About This Movie

Journey to the Sun takes a real slice of history and spins it into something deeply resonant. It’s an exploration of resilience through the eyes of children, and the contrast between their war-torn past and the idyllic life in Portuguese villas is striking. The pacing feels patient, allowing viewers to absorb the stories of these young souls, while the documentary’s intimate interviews pull you right into their experiences. What makes it stand out is the archival footage interwoven with personal narratives — there's a palpable warmth in how it captures both trauma and recovery. The tone is reflective, maybe a bit bittersweet, yet hopeful as it unpacks the complexities of displacement and healing post-war.
