Film Details

The new nonfiction film from Gianfranco Rosi (whose last movie was the indelible European migrant crisis documentary Fire at Sea) is Italy’s official submission for this year’s Oscar for Best Int’l Feature Film. Filmed over three years on the borders between Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria and Lebanon, this elegantly shot movie captures intimate moments from everyday lives impacted by civil wars, ruthless dictatorships, foreign invasions, and ISIS’ murderous behavior. “Rosi's genuine desire to understand the psychological reality of the region is not only morally admirable, it is artistically astonishing.” –The Globe and Mail. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 100 min.
