Away Together
10-year old Ayah follows her father to New Mexico after leaving the refugee camp in Pakistan where she was born and raised.
Forced to go on a camping trip organized by a local youth worker, Ayah leaves the campsite after a misunderstanding.
As she gets lost in the mountains, she connects to a memory she didn’t know she had. Somehow, as she explores this foreign place, she comes closer to finding her own story.Director:
