Following the first successful public screening, the documentary film If Pigeons Turned to Gold is returning to Trenčín. This time, we have decided to invite primarily police officers, municipal employees, and people who encounter homelessness as part of their work. The invitation is also extended to people with lived experience of homelessness.
What leads a person to life on the streets? What role do addiction, family relationships, and circumstances that often remain unseen play in this?
The documentary film by director Pepa Lubojacki follows her attempt to understand why her older brother and two cousins are experiencing homelessness and struggling with addiction. The film openly portrays their everyday lives, family relationships, and the complexity of the situations in which they find themselves.
The screening will be followed by a short Q&A session with the audience. We are provisionally expecting Daniel Ralaus, Head Physician at the Day Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Centre in Trenčín, to take part. His professional practice also focuses on addiction-related issues.
We are also exploring the possibility of an online appearance by the director herself, Pepa Lubojacki, who is currently taking part in an Oscar campaign.
