LOS ANGELES—Screening: MIDNIGHT TRAVELER—POSTPONED

Still from MIDNIGHT TRAVELER. LOS ANGELES—THE BLUE HOUR, a monthly film series, will screen MIDNIGHT TRAVELER, a feature length documentary about what ensued when the Taliban put a bounty on Afghan director Hassan Fazili’s head. Forced to flee with his wife and two young daughters, he captured their uncertain journey on his cell phone.

The monthly film screenings will provide a communal space to see compelling, award-winning feature length and short documentaries that will examine the theme of immigration ranging from local to global perspectives.
