But this book begins with Dorothy and her legacy as an archetypal touchstone in cinema for the child journeying far from home. In \u003ci\u003eThere's No Place Like Home\u003c\/i\u003e, distinguished film scholar Stephanie Hemelryk Donald offers a fresh interpretation of the migrant child as a recurring figure in world cinema. Displaced or placeless children, and the idea of childhood itself, are vehicles to examine migration and cosmopolitanism in films such as \u003ci\u003eLe Ballon Rouge\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLittle Moth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLe Havre\u003c\/i\u003e. Surveying fictional and documentary film from the post-war years until today, the author shows how the child is a guide to themes of place, self and being in world cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deeply felt, compassionate, necessary book.
