About SAFAR 2025: Red Path
SAFAR Film Festival 2025 returns to MAC, presenting cinema from across the Arab world.
In the shadow of Tunisia’s Mghila Mountains, 13-year-old Achraf endures a harrowing ordeal when jihadists attack him and his cousin, Nizar. Forced to carry Nizar’s severed head back to their village as a gruesome warning, Achraf embarks on a journey that blurs the lines between trauma and resilience. Based on true events, Lotfi Achour’s Red Path is a haunting exploration of innocence lost amidst terror.
Red Path offers a poignant reflection on the enduring impact of violence and the strength found in confronting it.
