STORY
13 year old Aamir has fled his home and been separated from his family only to be stranded alone in the largest unofficial refugee camp in Europe. When he is befriended by Katlyn, a well meaning but thinly stretched British volunteer, she becomes Aamir's last hope for salvation.

Based on a true story this NYU Grad film production was photographed on location in the Calais ‘Jungle’ refugee camp by Robbie Ryan (American Honey, Fish Tank) with the help and collaboration of local refugee communities.
