When the Taliban puts a bounty on Afghan filmmakers Hassan and Fatima Fazilis’ heads, they are forced to flee the country with their two young daughters. In the search for safety, they embark on a perilous journey through Europe, documenting the experience entirely with their phones.
Midnight Traveler is a riveting documentary about a family fighting for survival by migrating through dangerous landscapes facing smugglers, gangs and refugee camps. As a migration story like no other, it received prizes for its achievements in documentary filmmaking at the Berlin international Film Festival 2019 and the Sundance Film Festival 2019.
