Roads of Fire - Director Nathaniel Lezra

With unprecedented access to the global migration crisis, ROADS OF FIRE weaves together three powerful, deeply personal narratives: a human smuggler guiding refugees through the treacherous Darién Gap, an asylum seeker rebuilding her life in New York City, and volunteers working on the frontlines of a mounting humanitarian emergency. ROADS OF FIRE offers an unflinching, intimate look at the human cost of forced migration, and the resilience of those navigating one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. In our guest Director Nathaniels Lezra’s own words… “Roads Of Fire is the culmination of years of labor executed by an extraordinary, compassionate, engaged, and courageous group of artists and crewmembers. It is also a window into a journey I’ve been undertaking for roughly a decade – one that began with my learning about my grandfather’s experiences as a Spanish Arab refugee in Morocco, having escaped one of the Spanish dictator Franco’s concentration camps in Northern Africa, and relocated to Tangier.”
