Twenty years after the fall of the Taliban regime, the last foreign troops are leaving Afghanistan. But without them, Afghan security forces fear they'll struggle to contain the advance of the insurgents.

Latvia has lost 13% of its population in the last 20 years. Due to the pandemic, there's been an upsurge in the number of young people deciding to return home.

Watani - My Homeland is the story of one family's struggle to survive the Syrian Civil War. Having lost her husband, the mother makes the heart achingly painful decision to leave her homeland, in search of safety and a brighter future for her children. Filmed over three years, this film chronicles the family's journey from the front-line in Aleppo, to the little town of Goslar in Germany. Escaping the chaos and terror of their war torn homeland becomes a catalyst for a different kind of struggle; the struggle to understand your past and accept your present, to adapt to a new life, to hold on to hope, and the idea of belonging to a homeland.
