    A masterpiece!
    Filmmaker Soudabeh Moradian delivers a true masterpiece with Polaris! Not only does it tell a compelling story following Baran (Alicja Bachleda), a traumatized war photographer, but manages to integrate themes of immigration, culture and war. Great performances all around and visuals that will transport you from your home to the middle east!
