Jim Rakete reveals the taboo topic: Documentary about children's hospice Bethel!

The internationally renowned photographer and filmmaker Jim Rakete has published a moving documentary entitled "Not today" about the children's and youth hospice in Bielefeld. The approximately one-hour film is available online free of charge, and shows, among other things, the 13-year-old Bercem, who is aware of her limited lifetime. In addition to their moving fate, relatives and employees also have their say and tell their stories.

According to Bethel, the topic of life -shortening diseases remains a large taboo in children. Many people are afraid of contact and are afraid to say the wrong thing about what leads to a deep social loneliness of the families concerned. The documentary aims to tackle this grievance and to raise awareness of the challenges of the families concerned. The entire film can be viewed
