The Japan Premiere of Alessio Cremonini's Border will open the 9th Refugee Film Festival
This film features the conflict in Syria, which is said to be the largest humanitarian crisis of this century.
The prolonged conflict in Syria has forced many Syrians to abandon their homes, and the number of Syrian refugees forced to leave the country has reached
3 million.
Almost half of all Syrians have been forced to flee their homes, and 6.5 million are displaced within Syria.
Over half of those uprooted are children. Increasing numbers of families are arriving in a shocking state, exhausted, scared and with their savings depleted. Most have been on the run for a year or more, fleeing from village to village before taking the final decision to leave the country.
If you were suddenly forced to flee your home...
In Syria, deeply religious young sisters Fatima and Aya learn that Fatima's new husband has decided to desert the army and join the Free Army; a plan that throws their lives into jeopardy. Gathering their essential belongings, the women must embark on a clandestine trip to Turkey.
Watch the film to see what it is like for a woman to flee her country under conflict.
