Bakri grows up in Raqqa, where his Kurdish heritage is a hidden part of his everyday life in an Arab society. With the destruction of war, his family is forced to flee the ruins of Syria to Kobane and on to Turkey. In a world filled with conflict and fear, Bakri finds a new beginning in Denmark. Here he confronts a culture that stands in stark contrast to his own and begins to navigate an everyday life where social norms, values and traditions are markedly different.
Through this journey, Bakri challenges his own perceptions and finds his way in a foreign culture while struggling with the longing for his past.
“Between Two Worlds: From Eastern Roots to Western Winds” is a story of transformation, adaptation and the personal quest to find oneself in a new world.
