Life Overtakes Me

This documentary runs for 39 minutes and examines the plight of hundreds of refugee children who have fled their homes due to severe trauma. These children experience a condition known as 'uppgivenhetssyndrom' or Resignation Syndrome, where they retreat into a coma-like state, often for extended periods. The film sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll faced by these young individuals as they confront the fear of deportation and uncertainty about their futures.

Produced by Camera Stylo Films, Life Overtakes Me offers a poignant look at the intersection of childhood, trauma, and the refugee experience. It presents a powerful narrative that contributes to discussions about the psychological effects of forced migration and the resilience of children in challenging circumstances.
