On 25 th of April with students of Foreign Philology specialty, Faculty of Translation and Foreign Philology was an open screening of the social film "Mom, I'm Alive!” by the famous director Aziz Zairov. The entire auditorium was completely filled with interested students and teachers. And there was tension and anticipation of history in the air.
All Aziz Zairov's films are aimed at the problems of society and this film is no exception. It dispelled the well-established opinion that most children from orphanages are prone to aggression, touched upon the big problem of pediatric oncology, showed relationships in difficult situations between family partners and innocent childhood infatuation. The director noted that his main consultants during the filming were mothers who lost their children during the fight against cancer and he personally visited the "Mothers of the Lost" club. That is why this picture prompted the viewer to feel the full range of emotions, and in total, not a few tears were shed. Each student did not just watch a movie and got acquainted with the director's work, he lived this story together with the main characters.
As the director later admitted, this film is the epitome of his most difficult period of life, because he himself was a pupil of an orphanage. Aziz Zairov is a very bright and bright personality. A man with a difficult, but certainly interesting fate, who, despite everything, is moving forward. One day he was told that his films could hardly be called entertaining, which did not collect huge sums at the box office. And then they asked, so why does he continue to make social films? To which he replied: "There is something more than money. What we will leave behind."
