REFUGEE | OFFICIAL TRAILER | Oscar Shortlist

(Oscar Shortlisted - Best Live Action Short Film) As a pediatric surgeon in the Syrian city of Aleppo, Amira (Yasmine Al Massri) works daily to save children from death’s door — so much so that she has become neglectful of her own daughter, Rasha (Massa Daoud). When the war that has largely spared them finally strikes close to home, Amira and Rasha suddenly find themselves fleeing for their lives — forced into a dangerous journey during which they must heal their relationship and draw close even as they leave their homeland behind forever.
