I Was a Stranger - Brandt Andersen,

Verenigde Staten, 103 minutes A film about the refugee crisis of Syria that won at the film festival of Berlijn de Amnesty International Film Award and tells the story of five people. It begins with a female doctor from Aleppo, who flees together with her young daughter. There is the Syrian soldier who gets tangled up with what he must do and especially with the orders he must follow. There is the poet who wants to flee with his family. There is the human smuggler who puts the refugees in inflatable boats for a lot of money, and there is the captain of a boat of the Greek coast guard. Each character is morally layered. There is no black-and-white approach. There are no heroes. A film that touches you.
