Kamal (Adam Ali) has fled Iraq to try to enter “Fortress Europe.” At the Turkish-Bulgarian border, local mercenaries are ruthlessly hunting down migrants. Alone in the forest, Kamal has only three days to escape.

Based on actual events taking place on the so-called “Balkan Route” into Europe, Haider Rashid's EUROPA had its world premiere at Cannes Directors' Fortnight and went on to win the Best Actor and Best Director awards at the Red Sea International Film Festival.

“A gripping drama that takes viewers as close as they would ever want to come to the real-life experiences of those willing to risk everything in the quest for safety and security.” –Variety
