FINDING HOME HAS BEEN CREATED AS AN ANTIDOTE TO THE OVER COMMERCIALISATION OF THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL.
THE FILM COMBINES LIVE ACTION AND ANIMATION TO CREATE A MEDITATIVE JOURNEY INTO THE EVENTS OF YOUSSEF MOHAMMADI'S LIFE THAT LED HIM TO FIND A PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE HE COULD BE ACCEPTED AND FREE.
THE ELDEST OF 4 FOOTBALL LOVING BROTHERS WHO WERE FORCED TO FLEE THEIR HOME COUNTRY DUE TO THE ATROCITIES OF WAR, FOOTBALL WAS A KEY PART OF THIS JOURNEY.
THE SPORT NOT ONLY SAVED YOUSSEF'S LIFE, BUT IS NOW SOMETHING HE USES TO HELP OTHER MIGRANTS LOOKING TO FIND THEIR PLACE IN THE WORLD TOO.
A FINALIST FOR THE FLICKERFEST INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND LONDON BREEZE FILM FESTIVALS AND SELECTED FOR THE ST KILDA FILM FESTIVAL, RHODE ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL, AND THE ASE ELLIE AWARDS FOR BEST EDITING OF OPEN CONTENT, BEFORE BEING BROADCAST ON SBS IN AUS/NZ.
