I saw the trailer and thought I was getting another Persepolis. It was much more of a gut punch. The film is animated as a way to anonymize and protect the people filmed. Driven by a real interview, the movie tells how loosing your home, being a refugee, being made an illegal human damages your humanity. Anyone who has an opinion about immigrates, should watch this. For more of human history than not, for more of people than not; we have been forced for flee. If not us, not to distant relatives or ancestors, friends or neighbors. The caustic power of politics, indifference, fear, and greed corrode civilization and the people caught in these moments in history. It was a very personal journey through trauma and trying to reclaim your right to exist.
