Starfood - Sushi in Space

In a galaxy not so far away, the world the two moons "Alphamoon" and "Betamoon" is very divided. While life on "Alpha" is wealthy, luxurious and elegant and people always have plenty of food, culture and nice conversations, living on "beta" is the opopposite. People live in an industrial landscape and work hard for little amounts of bad food and bad air, to provide "Alpha" with the best things.
But a little piece of Sushi, flying through space is about to change that.

This film was realized in cooperation with a group of children and several schools in Duesseldorf from all social classes and deals with problems like child poverty and food. It's part of the international project "10children.org" from stage director Liesbeth Coltoff.
