    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!

    Outstanding

    This film is solid, acceptable content, extraordinary projecting, superb acting, and excessively coordinating. Regardless of whether the watcher doesn't care for these sorts of motion pictures, the individual in question will watch the whole film, the crowd is stuck to what exactly will occur next as the film advances. This is an incredible blend, and the imaginative style makes the film noteworthy.

    FINALLY A GREAT STORYLINE

    A friend recommended this movie, and I'm so glad we watched it. The storyline keeps you in your seat, and after watching classic storylines movie after movie, I can finally have hope that there are some hidden gems out there. Highly recommended!!!!

    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!
