The film captures the anxiety, desperation, and resilience of those forced to flee their homes in such a short timespan. With a raw authenticity, it weaves personal narratives that reflect the broader themes of displacement and identity. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the emotional weight of each story. The interviews are heartfelt, giving a face to statistics, and the archival footage adds a haunting layer of context. It’s a striking reminder of how politics can upend lives in a heartbeat, and the human struggle to find safety and belonging in the aftermath.
