Exodus

The characters of the movie are still with me days after watching the movie (at the Festival del Cinema di Porretta) I can't stop to think about Sam and Amal and the journey they have made together. I hope the movie finds its way to the masses in Italy. Some things could have been done differently, but as a film student and aspiring director, I am very impressed with the portrayal of the characters. You can see that the filmmakers know their characters, they know them in and out. The girl, Amal (Jwan Alqatami) and the man, Sam (Ashraf Barhom) would most likely have been in the running for the big prizes if this was an American or British film. Watch this gem.
