Named after a Shakespearian passage defending the plight of refugees, The Strangers’ Case explores their continued struggle through a collection of unique yet unifying perspectives. When tragedy strikes at the hands of the Syrian civil war, a doctor and her daughter are forced to flee to the border, causing a chain reaction that connects their story to five other families across four continents. Through richly layered, complex characters and harrowing, affecting imagery, this award-winning film captures the enduring trials and tribulations of the refugee experience and history’s tendency to repeat itself.
