The documentary Free as a Bird continues the story of Like Birds in a Cage and War is not for Children.

The orphaned girl Ivana, who lost almost her entire family during the war in Bosnia, except for her brother, is now fifteen-year-old. She has been granted asylum in the United Kingdom with her brother and the family they met at a refugee camp in Croatia. The film reveals the difficulties Ivana meets as a foreign girl in a foreign country, and her irrepressible determination to concentrate on the future, to make up for the childhood she lost. Free as a Bird

concludes the trilogy on Children of War that portrays the fates of children of war in an important period of modern history.
