Market Screening: The Sound of Hope

In moments and places of unimaginable hardship, humanitarian aid can do more than help people survive. It can help people regain a sense of normalcy.

The Sound of Hope, a film by the European Union, follows three EU-supported aid workers as they deliver assistance in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Guided by the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, they work alongside affected communities in Syria, Haiti and Burundi, providing help where it is needed most. 

From healthcare and shelter to education and spaces where people can feel safe, the film reveals the many forms EU humanitarian aid can take. Alongside the aid workers, we meet people whose lives have been shaped by conflict, displacement and crisis, but whose talents, dreams and extraordinary resilience tell a larger story. 

Connecting the voices of aid workers and those receiving aid, the film offers an intimate portrait of the human stories behind EU humanitarian action. These are the stories of aid workers who are on the frontlines every day, and of people whose voices continue to carry hope.
