I worked in the media, my job was my dream.
One day, there was a big surprise attack on our office.
That was very dangerous. Some people, they don’t want us to work.
To share what’s going on to the world.
They are Taliban.
Because they said: "you are a pagan, you are a devil...
you are not good for Islam.”
Are you ready? -Yeah!
Perfect, perfect.
One, two, three, four.
*People are playing traditional music on guitar*
For the first time since I crossed the border, I heard the guitar.
Oh my god, there is a guitar? I’m really excited, I want to see the guitar.
That was my dream, I want to play guitar, but I can’t, I couldn’t.
The idea to bring a music school to refugees in Greece...
just came out of the blue and we took action.
We took the plane two weeks later, going to Lesbos and permission was granted...
and I think two-three months after that moment we were up and running.
When I went to see my mom, she hugged me and said:
“okay, you do what you want, just be careful, god bless you.”
When I saw the water and the waves, very high waves, that was very dangerous for us...
and when I saw the face of the women and children I was really crying.
I said to myself we are not alone.
Don’t think about yourself, they are also here.
You have to be patient; you have to tell them not to worry and to calm down.
We will cross these waves.
It is not a nice place, sometimes, some people, some nationalities fight each other.
For what? For food.
For what? Because someone looks a specific way at them.
This is the reason.

She showed her arms and her arms, on the outside, were full of scars.
Showing self-harm, auto mutilation and the inside of her arms...
were also full of scars showing that she tried to commit suicide.
And what she told us, smiling, she told us:
“I feel so good and it is because I joined this music program and it make me feel at ease.
I don’t experience my depression that strongly anymore.”
*People are playing music on the guitar.*
*children cheering*
We’re here just to show to you that music connects.
*People are playing music on the guitar and singing with the crowd.*
Tonight was perfect, it was amazing.
I don’t know how to explain it, how to explain my feelings.
This was amazing for me.
