360 Degree Films has a new project – the feature documentary I AM HAZARA
SALLY INGLETON has recently come on board to produce the feature documentary I AM HAZARA (previously known as In Focus).
The film tells the story of photojournalist Barat Ali Batoor who, following death threats, was forced to flee his homeland of Afghanistan and seek asylum in Australia.
Batoor made the perilous journey overland and under cover until he caught a boat from Indonesia bound for Australia. But the boat was shipwrecked and Batoor was placed in detention in Indonesia.
Batoor carried his camera the entire time and filmed his journey. He now wants to tell his story.
Batoor is writer and director with Joseph Nizeti. Shaun Miller is our Executive Producer. The film has received development funding from Screen Australia, VicScreen, Screen NSW, and Shark Island Foundation.
We are raising funds through the Documentary Australia website so please consider making a tax deductible donation.
