We speak to 10-year old Naka and her mother Natalina, who escaped religious persecution in Southern Sudan. We meet '<g class="gr_ gr_12 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="12" data-gr-id="12">Ahmul</g>', an Arab Muslim student activist who fled Sudan after being tortured for attempting to start a student union. We encounter Affaf from Darfur, who misses her husband. And we meet Ida, a powerful orator who convinces us that home is a universal human right. Caught in complicated geographic, religious and political webs, the simplicity of their message becomes even more powerful.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Please note that at the time of filming, the U.N. had recommended protecting the identity of adult refugees who have not yet been resettled. Though their faces are never fully revealed, the women's intimate stories uncover the amazing strength and resiliency of people fighting for a home.</i>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><hr><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS</b></div><div><div>Society for Visual Anthropology Film Festival, 2008</div><div>EASA Film, Video &amp; New Media Festival, Slovenia, 2008</div><div>International Black DocuFest, Atlanta, GA, 2008</div><div>Reel Venus Film Festival, Anthology Film Archives, New York, 2008</div><div>Africa World Documentary Film Festival, St. Louis, MO, 2009</div><div>San Francisco Women's Film Festival, 2009</div><div><br /></div></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/huang-ya-hsuan-c885all.aspx">Huang, Ya-Hsuan</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
