28 – Hope (aka „28 – Prinzip Hoffnung“)

We are currently producing „28 – Hope“ aka „28 – Prinzip Hoffnung“ (Director: Cornelia Gruenberg; Writers: Cornelia and Andreas Gruenberg, Producer: Andreas Gruenberg) as a co-production with ZDF/3sat.  We just recently finished principal photography successfully. 

Since 2012 the director has documented the lives of  Laura, Fabienne, Lisa, and Steffi, her young protagonists, who became pregnant at the age of 14.  Soon their children will turn 15 – the same age in which their mothers gave birth to them. The first two episodes  VIERZEHN – Erwachsen in 9 Monaten (Kinderfilm GmbH 2011) and ACHTZEHN – Dare to Live“ (14P Filmproduktion GmbH 2014) have already been completed and released. 

We are grateful for the production funding we have received for this project from the German Federal Film Board (FFA) and the German Film Fund DFFF
