JOURNEY OF SAVA cover image
I like The Journey Of Sava because it is about a kid and for a kid which makes it fun and interactive to watch.

The film is about a curious boy named Sava who moved from Ukraine to Brazil due to the war in his country. Sava lives together with his mother and sister and, despite what he has been through and the effects of moving away from his home, he demonstrates strength and courage. He goes on an adventure full of fun in Brazil. He loves to play with paper airplanes and likes heights and continues to pursue his passion and love for flying.

I like the film's plot and I like seeing how Sava's determination to pursue adventures and his passions and dreams continue to be present in his life. The film is well made with good, clear camera work and audio recording. The scenes in Brazil's jungles are really fascinating. I love the waterfalls! They are extraordinary. I love seeing him ride in the hot air balloon and I love hearing his laughter. My favorite part of the film is seeing Sava having fun as a little boy in Brazil. We are also reminded of his and his family's situation when his sister says that her dream is to return to Ukraine. The song they all sing at the end, presumably in Ukrainian, is a reminder of their love for their country.

The film's message is to always pursue your passions and dreams despite the challenges and obstacles that life brings.

I give The Journey of Sava 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Hafsa H., KIDS FIRST!

The Journey of Sava is part of the unpublished series Ninhos em Movimento, about childhood and migration in Brazil. Sava is a boy with curious eyes, who carries with him the weight of a recent and sad history. Because of the war he had to leave the Ukraine and come to Brazil, to the city of Prudentópolis in the interior of Paraná, which is known as the land of giant waterfalls. In this strange and unknown place for him, Sava lives together with his mother and his sisters. He finds strength in his amulets, the small toy mice, which accompany him in all his adventures. Despite missing his father, who was left behind in the war, Sava does not let himself be discouraged. He loves to play with paper airplanes, dreams of heights and the feeling of freedom that they bring. It is in the heights that Sava will experience an unforgettable adventure.
