SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, after Hassan Fazili\u2019s documentary PEACE aired on Afghan national television, the Taliban assassinated the film\u2019s main subject and put a price on Hassan\u2019s head. Hassan looked at his wife and his daughters, and he knew they had to flee their home. Over the course of their multi-year saga in search of safety, the family grasped onto the only means they had to assert control over their situation: their camera-phones.
Hassan and his wife Fatima are both filmmakers, and they are educating their daughters and encouraging them to be artists. The whole family shot this autobiographical film, which began when they sought and were rejected for refugee protection and follows them along the notorious Balkan smuggling route. As they experienced increasingly degrading circumstances, the family latched on to filmmaking as a way to not just survive, but retain their humanity.
MIDNIGHT TRAVELER <\/em>is a gripping v\u00e9rit\u00e9 story made by a family on the run. Their unique access and artistic vision provide an intimate portrait of a loving family and the myriad fellow travelers they meet on their odyssey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
