A Powerful Short About A Refugee In 2020 Offered A Dubious Opportunity

The brusque moving picture Refuge is set year in the twelvemonth 2020 when a cyber-terrorism is brewing between the United States and Iran . Sonia , a vernal journalist and refugee from Iran , is in danger of being deported , when a new research labor offers her an opportunity to stick , but at great personal cost .

Mohammad Gorjestani wrote and directed Refuge , which is a thought - provoking expression at what can happen when incarnate interests and political relation collide to put single people in coercive post . And Nikohl Boosheri ’s Sonia has to ask whether she ’s willing to do something she ’d never otherwise regard to accomplish her goals .
