Kinder Doll: A Kindertransport Story
A stop-motion animation short that follows a young girl on a Kindertransport journey as she leaves her home, family, and everything familiar behind. Holding tightly to her beloved doll, she faces the uncertainty of exile with quiet courage. Through delicate handcrafted puppets and miniature sets, the film transforms historical memory into a moving visual meditation on loss, resilience, and the enduring power of hope.
