+ NOW SHOWING
“ONE IN A MILLION stands out, a heartbreaking and sensitive chronicle of 10 years in the lives of a family of refugees.It’s about leaving your country, but then it grows into something more: a meditation on how living in a new culture changes family dynamics, and how longing for home can be part of that.” – Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
Itab Azzam and Jack Macinnes’ stunning longitudinal film following a young Syrian refugee for over a decade is now playing at NYC’s IFC Center. For more information, please visit IFC Center’s website.
