Midnight Traveler is a 2019 documentary following Afghan filmmaker Hassan Fazili and his family as they flee to seek asylum in Europe. Filmed largely on affordable mobile devices, the film tracks their perilous journey through Iran, Turkey, Greece, and beyond as borders tighten and danger looms. Personal, intimate, and immediacy-driven, it exposes the refugees' courage, fear, and resilience while offering a raw portrait of global displacement and the politics surrounding asylum.
