More About Film

An Afghan refugee agrees to tell a remarkable personal narrative of persecution and escape on the condition that his identity is not revealed. As a means of fulfilling that wish, his filmmaker friend uses striking animation to not only protect this young man but also enhance his tale, bending time and memory to recount a visceral journey dictated by deception, loneliness, and a relentless will to survive. The film, which had its world premier at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, is unbound by documentary constraints and swept up in an astonishing array of archival footage.
