This one-off documentary shines a light on real, physical scars of children. Not just any scars, but scars that are physically visible and that have come from cancer. In this special episode Vinz and Elise tell their own story about how they were told they had cancer, how they cope with it, what they think of their scars, what it is like to lose your hair and that they were just ‚unlucky‘ in life and got cancer. We wanted to bring hopeful stories from and by children and cast them in a highend documentary. It was an ideal way to let kids who experienced themselves what it is to have cancer, talk about it and inform their peers. This special is an extra edition after the full series ‘Scars for Life’ where in every episode we focused on two kids with visible scars, that told the stories behind them. At Ketnet, the children’s brand of the Flemish public broadcaster VRT, we focus one week every year on cancer. We show programmes that discuss the disease openly and correctly in fiction and non-fiction, sell caps to finance a camp for children with cancer, have a song about the theme and end the week with ‘Petnet-dag’ or ‘Caps-day’ when we ask every kid to go to school wearing a cap, showing they support children, with cancer.
