‘Little Sinner’ Director Daro Hansen on Escaping Forced Marriage and Capturing Her Healing in a Documentary: ‘I Used the Camera as Therapy’

In 2007, a Syrian journalism student arrived in Damascus for an exam with a secret escape plan. A SIM card was hidden in her shoe and a mobile phone in her underwear. As soon as she entered the building, she sent a message to her friends waiting outside. Moments later, she went into hiding, fleeing a violent forced marriage.

That student was Daro Hansen, whose debut feature “Little Sinner,” co-directed with Danish director-editor Thomas Papapetros, will have its world premiere on March 15 in the main competition at Copenhagen Intl. Documentary Film Festival, CPH:DOX.
