I Must Away

An itinerant director travels the world, meeting four people torn from their homes, in a kaleidoscopic reflection on the rootless home in a time of global migration.

The politician Hashem was forced to flee Bangladesh after a change in power. Alicia fell into debt and left her home country Peru for Chile. When Ali was 18, he had already fled to Afghanistan and Iran to Sweden, where he created a life for himself. For seven years, Dennis (who as a result of the Financial Crisis left Ireland to seek work abroad) has traveled the world and met four migrants who have left their homes to build lives in new places. His circumnavigation in the age of globalism is pitted against the homely trips to the village in Ireland, where his grandmother lived her life until its end, just a few miles from the place where it started.
