I was a Stranger
I Was a Stranger
DRAMA ★★★★1/2
A doctor, a soldier, a human smuggler, a father and a captain. Each with their own story, each on their own journey. Their paths cross when the Syrian civil war forces them to leave everything behind in a desperate search for safety and a place where they can belong.
Set in four countries and inspired by true stories from the frontlines of the refugee crisis, this compelling drama – starring Omar Sy – shows the heartbreaking pain, constant danger and vulnerable beauty of people who, despite everything, find the courage to start over, even when the world has nothing left to offer them.
The film was awarded the Amnesty International Film Award at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.
