Citizen of Moria is a poignant documentary that chronicles the journey of Ahmad Ebrahimi, an Afghan filmmaker who, after facing life-threatening persecution by the Taliban, flees his homeland and finds himself in the notorious Moria refugee detention camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
In Moria, Ahmad collaborates with Canadian filmmaker Jawad Mir to document his experiences and those of his fellow detainees. Armed with a camera, Ahmad captures the daily struggles and fleeting moments of hope within the camp, all while grappling with the uncertainty of his family's safety back in Afghanistan. His filmmaking becomes a means of coping and a tool for advocacy, shedding light on the human cost of global migration crises.
