Grateful to see TO A LAND UNKNOWN included in The Guardian’s list of best Palestinian films, chosen by Hany Abu-Assad. A quiet moment of pride for everyone who made it possible. theguardian.com/world/2025/o…
After 6+ months of delays, @HomeAffairsSA & @VFSGlobal have still not rectified the visas for my wife Anke & our son Finley.
Cases: 2508-935233 & 2508-935244.
Finalised in March, then returned with the wrong details. Families shouldn’t be treated this way. #VFSSouthAfrica
TO A LAND UNKNOWN, named one of The Guardian’s best films of 2025 (so far).
A huge honour! And a testament to the cast, crew, and everyone who believed in this film.
Starring the phenomenal Mahmood Bakri.
