When the Taliban put a price on his head, Afghan director Hassan Fazili is forced to flee with his wife and two young daughters. Capturing their uncertain journey using three smartphones, Fazili shows both the danger and despair faced by asylum-seeking refugees but also the immense love that binds him to his family. "When the Taliban put a price on his head, Afghan director Hassan Fazili, his wife and their two daughters are forced to flee their country. Their crime? Having opened a café offering cultural activities. First refugees in Tajikistan, the impossibility of obtaining asylum pushes them to take the road again, this time for Europe. Then begins an uncertain and dangerous journey which puts them at the mercy of smugglers. For three years, Hassan Fazili films his family and their life of waiting, of fear, of boredom. A filmmaker with no other camera than his cell phone, he films the daily struggle that their existence has become, his daughters growing up in transit camps, and the love that unites them. He films so as not to go crazy This compelling desire to create, even in the worst conditions, Midnight Traveler shares it with us with a rare intensity. is not only a moving family odyssey, but also a reflection on the nature and power of these images."
