A journey both physical and intensely emotional, Sean McAllister’s five-year chronicle tells of the troubled love story between Amer, a Palestinian freedom fighter, and Raghda, a left-wing Syrian activist, who first met as Syrian political prisoners in the mid-90s, married and had four sons. As McAllister documents their struggles, he too is arrested, forcing the family to flee to Lebanon. He follows. The resulting story displays "heartbreaking candour… [and] furnishes a timely look behind the cover stories on Europe’s immigration drama."—Hollywood Reporter
