Wandering, a Rohingya Story

Cultures & Communities Festival

In 2017, 700,000 people of the Rohingya Muslim minority fled Myanmar (formerly Burma), escaping genocide. This immersive and poetic film brings us to the largest refugee camp in the world (Kutupalong Camp in Bangladesh), where Rohingya stayed before moving on to cities like Milwaukee. Between poetry and nightmares, food distribution and soccer games, WANDERING bears witness to their daily lives and to the ghosts of the past, offering insights for those hoping to offer refuge.
