A Matter of Luck, A Matter of Happiness
Every life is determined by choices, every journey is coloured by luck and misfortune.
A Matter of Luck, A Matter of Happiness is a human interest documentary series, directed by Kat Steppe. In ten episodes, we discover the life stories of some inhabitants of Borgerhout and Antwerpen-Noord. These two quarters in the city of Antwerp are characterised by the multitude of nationalities – over 170 – that live together on just a few square kilometres.
Young folks and retired people who have been living here for generations; men and women with a migration background; newcomers who have barely settled in. Despite this variation, they all seem to have one thing in common: a rich personal history and the dream of a better life.
Every life is determined by choices, every journey is coloured by luck and misfortune. A Matter of Luck, A Matter of Happiness offers an authentic view on the personal stories of highly diverse people in this neighbourhood, beyond the prejudices about them and the part of the city they are living in.
