\nThe documentary film “One In A Million<\/strong>” opens today in German cinemas on the film label NONFY<\/span> Documentaries<\/strong>. The documentary for children and young people by Joya Thome<\/strong> tells the story of two teenage girls in Georgia (USA) and Northern Germany who are digitally connected through their social media activities and their passion for gymnastics. In the midst of the dazzling and merciless world of social media, Withney and Yara begin to find out who they are and what they want from life.

The first feature-length documentary by director Joya Thome<\/strong>, whose debut children’s film “Queen of Niendorf<\/strong>” was released on the Darling Berlin<\/strong> film label in 2018, is a poetic psychogram of the social media generation.<\/p>\n

The idea for “One In A Million<\/strong>” came from the desire to better understand the world of today’s teenagers. What is the significance of social media for this young generation and what does it mean to be a fan or idol in this digital world? What shapes fan culture and what influence does the mass of fans have on their idols, who are often the same age? These digital relationships shape the growing up of millions and are an elementary part of youth culture all over the world. The film follows the emancipation of the two girls from what confines them over a period of three years and tells of their process of going their own way and finding their own voice with great sensitivity and always at eye level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whitney Bjerken<\/strong> from the USA is a world-famous YouTuber and gifted singer-songwriter. The quiet but sensitive Yara from Germany is one of her biggest fans. Connected by the glittering world of social media and their passion for gymnastics, they begin to find out who they are and what they want from life. A coming-of-age film about success and loneliness, friendship and first love, queer coming out and the courage to find one’s own voice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
