In this dramatic re-creation, Jamal (Jamal Udin Torabi) and Enayat (Enayatullah) escape from the wretched Shamshatoo Refugee Camp in northwest Pakistan and embark on a perilous journey to England, where Jamal’s uncle lives. Though they are initially caught by Iranian authorities and sent back, they ultimately make it through Iran to Istanbul, Turkey, smuggled there by paid human traffickers. To get to Italy, they must risk being shipped, and spend over a day in an unventilated container.

What is Conscious Cinema?

A space in which people gather to experience a film together and thereafter, share their ideas and feelings in dialogue. A home-cooked light meal and dessert is available for sale. In the main, the films are documentaries but there are also plenty of eccentric and curious fictional films to explore. Please feel free to suggest a film!
