It takes a village to raise a child: parents, institutions, and us as a society. The Bulgarian upcoming series “Shattered Bonds” tackles the issues of youth violence and broken families. Based on the novel and theatre adaptation "The Mothers" by Teodora Dimova, the series explores what can happen when young people are left without emotional support. Working together with UNICEF in Bulgaria, the creatives behind the series shine a light on pressing societal issues and start a conversation in Bulgaria and beyond. This panel explores unique financing strategies surrounding the production, Bulgaria as an emerging creative hub, and how narratives can initiate change – not only just by telling a story but by taking social responsibility.

This event will take place at CinemaxX 3.
