Iman's Boat

About this movie

Iman, an Iranian refugee who fled fearing for his life, arrives on the refugee-filled Greek island of Lesbos. There, he joins as a theater teacher at a school for refugees established by a group of young Israelis. The children soothe his scarred soul, and he becomes a source of hope and security for them. Together, they create a theater performance that depicts the refugee experience. But just when Iman feels he has found true refuge, the situation on the island escalates and reaches a climax when fascists burn the school to the ground. Iman must decide whether to surrender to the external and internal pressures that threaten him or whether he can find the strength to continue and provide the children with the shelter and hope they desperately need.
