19 November 2019
After escaping, confronting harsh obstacles, breaking the law and paying the consequences, Zain is driven to take legal action against those he deems ultimately responsible.
This multi-award winning film is an undeniably powerful experience, principally due to the street-cast children, who act with instinctive brilliance. As a reality check and unashamedly furious voice for the voiceless, Capernaum is a compassionate tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, a battle cry for the forgotten and discarded, which offers seeds of hope in unexpected places.
“In its unbroken gaze and visionary sweep, [Capernaum] already feels like a landmark” Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
“Capernaum’s odyssey paints [Zain] as a resourceful figure fighting impossible odds rather than the passive child victim…” Kate Stables, Sight and Sound
