Two young boys cross a river in the middle of the night. The river is
also a border, and their lives depend on this journey. With nothing but
the clothes on their backs, Aryan and his little brother Kabir travel by
truck, boat, train, bus and on foot across a Europe they desperately
hope will offer them a future they can no longer wait for in
Afghanistan. Kabul-Tehran-Istanbul-Athens-Rome-Paris-London--this is the
route they cling to, the mantra they repeat in their prayers, and the
only option they can see before them.
Hinterland is the story of two ordinary brothers whose courageous
gamble brings home the devastating human consequences of war.
