    Damla Sönmez acting!

    Very powerful messages behind this movie. Damla Sönmez took my breath away with her acting here. She plays the role of a pregnant female doctor. I love the poster and how Damla's green eyes look like the green eyes of the famous national geographic afghan girl. Highly recommended!

    The essence of film making

    What an incredible vehicle to experience the brutality yet the reality and beauty of the outside world and their deep cultures. Incredibly touching illustration that will reach deep in an awaken your soul. Must watch.

    Powerful and Extraordinary !

    What an intense first point perspective told from the eyes of these beautiful human refugees. This movie puts you on the boat, in the truck, in the hospital, in these very countries that we don't even think twice about. The plight that our refugees go through is something else. We are all one race, the human race and this movie proves that! A MUST SEE for everyone!

    Shared humanity

    I Am You, directed by Sonia Cole touches the heart and reminds us of our shared humanity. Scenes of courage and desperation foreshadowed actual events and gives insight to the human spirit reaching to the light of freedom to survive. Brilliant and moving.
