THE WALK

WORLD PREMIERE In this new feature by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Tamara Kotevska (Honeyland), Asil is a young Syrian refugee in Turkey, processing the trauma of losing her home and family.. Her story gives voice to a charming gigantic puppet named Amal, who represents millions of migrant and displaced children in a walk from the Syrian border in Turkey all the way across Europe. Escorted and animated by a group of puppeteers who are themselves refugees, Amal’s epic journey is one of compassion and discovery. – Ruth Somalo
