A Refugee Family Takes Viewers On A Years-Long Escape In 'Midnight Traveler'

Since 2015, under the threat of the Taliban, Afghan filmmakers Hassan Fazili and Fatima Hussaini, along with their two young daughters, have been on the run for their lives.

The family fled Afghanistan after the extremist group had called for Fazili's death over a film he'd made about one of its commanders.

Even as the refugee family navigates a still-incomplete journey — of death threats, discrimination and paralyzing immigration systems — Fazili and Hussaini turn their cameras on themselves and their daughters.

Hundreds of hours of footage that Fazili and his family all shot on their three cell phone cameras emerge as the new documentary, Midnight Traveler.
