''Something Better To Come'' is a Danish-Polish documentary film about children living on a garbage dump near Moscow directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Hanna Polak and produced by of Danish Documentary – one of the world's key players in creative documentary film production. ''Something Better To Come'' won the Special Jury Award at the world's biggest documentary festival – IDFA, where the film had premiered. == Content == One of Hanna Polak's first film – ''The Children of Leningradsky'' focuses on homeless children living in the Leningradsky railway station in Moscow. The movie was nominated for an Oscar, an Emmy Award in two categories and won number of other awards. This put the film in the spotlight and catalyzed change for the children featured in it, offering them hope for a better future. One impact of that film was to force local authorities to change policy regulations pertaining to the homeless, which helped hundreds of other kids. Hanna Polak uses her camera as a weapon in a global fight to help these children escape lives of poverty and misery. In 2000, in parallel with shooting ''The Children of Leningradsky'', Hanna began working on ''Something Better to Come''. This was the same year Vladimir Putin stepped into power in Russia and coincidentally, the story of Yula, the main character of the film, is parallel to the unfolding story of Putin's Russia. Ten-year-old Yula has but one dream – to lead a normal life. For 14 years, Hanna Polak follows Yula as she grows up in the forbidden territory of Svalka, the garbage dump located 13 miles from the Kremlin in Putin's Russia. ''Something Better to Come'' is Yula's story – a dramatic tale of coming of age and maturing to the point of taking destiny into one's own hands. It is a story of hope, courage, and life, all shot in gripping vérité style that stuns with its directness and immediacy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Something Better To Come」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
