About This Movie

Nasim (2021) captures a raw, intimate glimpse into the lives of refugees, focusing on a young Afghan girl and her family cramped in Moria. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to really absorb the harsh realities of their existence. You can feel the weight of their situation, with stunning visuals that contrast the beauty of Greece against the backdrop of human struggle. The documentary doesn't shy away from the chaos of overcrowding, yet it finds moments of tenderness and resilience. The filmmakers, Jacobs and Büttner, manage to evoke empathy without sensationalism, making the everyday struggles feel deeply personal. It’s a tough watch, but that’s what makes it distinctive – it’s a testament to survival amid the storm.
