Behind one of the Vietnam War's most iconic, Pulitzer Prize–winning photographs lies a story that echoes through today's global crises. Told through the voices of survivors, the film meditates on memory, loss, and renewal, confronting the enduring scars of war and the resilience of refugees rebuilding their lives.

North American Premiere
In the West Bank a video game creator struggles to raise his two sons amid Israeli army raids and the ongoing war in Gaza. By day, he navigates the dangers and uncertainties of everyday life; by night, he channels his fears into the digital world, designing games where mothers and fathers are powerless to protect their children. Through his work, the film explores the intersection of family, trauma, and creativity, revealing how imagination becomes both an escape and a mirror to the harsh realities surrounding him.
