Incepand de astazi si pana pe 1 noiembrie, la Londra se desfasoara cea de-a 51-a editie a Festivalului de Film. Printre filmele programate in cadrul festivalului se numara si "Iska's Journey", o productie ungureasca despre saracia extrema dintr-un sat romanesc si destinul copiilor amarati in atat de laudatul "sistem model"…
Asteptam cu interes luari de pozitie ferme din partea ANPDC, ORA, guvernului etc. care sa demaste toate aceste minciuni prezentate cu scopul evident de a murdari imaginea fabulospirituala a unei Romanii mereu surprinzatoare, sa prezinte realitatile noastre mirifice si sa infiereze cu inalt simt civic si spirit de raspundere aceasta noua provocare a "agenturilor"… ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."

She makes her living scavenging for metal left over from an industry that went bankrupt after 1989, and passes her meagre profits to her alcoholic parents. After breaking into a shop, she is taken into care, but opts to return home when her mother comes to visit her. Together with a boy from the orphanage, she plans to escape to the seaside, but eventually falls into the hands of human traffickers. A moving, human and relevant film, reminiscent of Ken Loach, it impresses through the magnetism of its central character and the depth of commitment to its subject. Winner of the Best Auteur Film Award at this year's Hungarian Film Week. Peter Hames (c) The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival<http://www.bfi.org.uk/whatson/lff/>
