by Emma Hackbarth
published 2025-06-02

In her intro for the New Jersey International Film Festival, director and scriptwriter Camilla Roos describes her new documentary Child No. 182, Barn nr 182 in Finnish and confirms that it is based on her own childhood. Child No. 182 follows Roos from her birth to her 8th year of life, as she was circulated through the foster and orphanage system in the 60s and 70s of Finland. The task of visualizing this past personal experience, and its wider implications for child protection, centers in archival print, photography & footage, and 8mm film shot by Roos’ team. The archival material includes municipal documents, letters and reports from social workers, as well as photos of Roos and guardians.
