The Milton Film Festival is thrilled to welcome back Milton's own Jawad Mir, whose documentary ONLY 78 had its Ontario premiere at MFF in 2018. He and co-director Ahmad Ebrahimi will be on hand after the screening for a livestreamed Q&A.
When Ahmad's life comes under threat by the Taliban in Afghanistan, he leaves his family behind for survival without saying good bye and ends up in Europe's worst Refugee Detention Camp, Moria. The film follows his journey in the detention centre with hopes of finding asylum in Europe or Canada.
"This is an eye-opening documentary that you won’t be able to shy away from after you’ve seen it. It’s a true masterwork, and a piece of cinema that Mir and Ebrahimi needed to make at this time in our history." - Parker & The Picture Shows
