What people are saying
‘"The film’s sensitive, vérité encounters with its young subjects inspire both heartbreak and hope, as the kids scramble for existential traction while waiting in a bureaucratic limbo. The film is a surprise nominee for a documentary feature Academy Award."‘
Steve Dollar
Children make the best of life in limbo in documentary ‘A House Made of Splinters’
‘"Disruption, disappointment and trauma became the norm for the children in A House Made of Splinters even before the war erupted full scale. Wilmont looks for glimmers of hope about the prospects for these kids."‘
Matthew Carey
