Writing Life

WRITING LIFE follows five young people in vulnerable situations – Kenni, Sabrina, Cille, Niklas, and Seb – as they fight to take ownership of their life stories. Society has written them off, but they refuse to accept that premise. They want to show that they are more than what they have been told throughout their lives. Through a six-week creative writing course with author Trisse Gejl, they are given the opportunity to break free from the many limiting narratives that the system has written about them. These texts often stand, both in their own understanding and in the perception of those around them, as seemingly true testimonies of a person.
But what about their own stories about themselves?
