A dank refugee camp at the Greek-Macedonian border houses Guevara Nabi’s family. They fled from both Islamic militants and the Assad regime in devastated Aleppo, Syria, navigating toward freedom. Countless desperate people sleep in tattered tents and shipping containers in the Idomeni camp while trying to contrive a way to enter Europe for asylum. Nabi, a Syrian activist who named himself after Che Guevara, says his family will go mad if they have to spend any more time in the bleak and miserable camp; using his wits, the counsel of his brothers already in Berlin, and GPS, he plans to depart on foot with his family in search of a better life. The group ranges in age from Guevara’s elderly mother to his youngest niece, 13, who refuses to leave behind her pink stuffed bunny rabbit Aboudi. Partly shot by family members, this film follows the refugees step by step on their perilous trek toward freedom.  LB
