Anissa Bonnefont has recently completed Nadia, a timely documentary feature about Nadia Nadim, the Afghan-born Danish soccer star

produced the film with Echo Studio, in association with France’s Canal Plus, which commissioned it.

Bonnefont’s documentary combines the terror looming over Afghanistan’s future with the story of a fugitive whose success surpasses everyone’s hopes. The movie, lensed by “Wonder Boy” cinematographer Thomas Brémond and edited by Guerric Catala, also sheds light on other refugees fleeing from the country.

“We, too, could become exiles and refugees, if terror should take over our country and through this film we want to spread a message of hope and trust to an even broader public,” adds the filmmaker. She points out the film is “universal and strikes a chord because it talks about the fate of many refugees who can never go back to the home country and come to the harsh realisation that it’s no longer their home.” Weil says ultimately “Nadia” delivers a positive depiction of refugees which is close to reality and isn’t ‘poverty porn.’
