Kinders

KINDERS is a moving documentary by brothers Arash and Arman T. Riahi about the transformative power of music and the hidden potential of young people. Over several years, the film follows children and teenagers from diverse social and cultural backgrounds in Vienna, giving them the space to tell their own stories – openly, honestly, and full of hope.At its heart is the Superar music education project, initiated by Caritas, the Vienna Konzerthaus, and the Vienna Boys' Choir. Through singing and making music together, the children discover new ways to express themselves, gain self-confidence, and experience a sense of belonging. Often overlooked outsiders become young people who develop their talents and find their voices.With great intimacy and empathy, the film observes their daily lives, navigating school, family, friendships, and dreams for the future. The result is a multifaceted portrait of a generation facing challenges, yet brimming with creativity, courage, and joy. KINDERS is far more than just a film about music. It tells a story of integration, equal opportunities, and the importance of education – and shows how art can empower people and overcome social barriers. An inspiring film that lingers long after the credits roll and offers hope for the future.
