The stakes couldn't be higher for displaced Palestinian refugees Chatila and Reda in this knife-edge drama. The cousins are saving to pay for fake passports to get out of Athens, but when Reda loses their hard-earned cash to his drug addiction, Chatila hatches an extreme plan to pose as smugglers in an attempt to escape their desperate situation before it's too late.

To a Land Unknown Ratings & Reviews

  • Kit LazerJuly 11, 2025
    Devastating. A drama dripping with empathy disguised as a crime thriller. For anyone who has ever known true desperation—living minute to minute, scheme to scheme, drowning in the cognitive dissonance of feeling like a good person with hopes and dreams but presenting to the world like scum because your desperate actions—this will destroy you. Borne of director Mahdi Feliel’s lived experiences and documentarian work, To A Land Unknown is an uncomfortable watch, something like Of Mice and Men or Midnight Cowboy with all the warmth of Good Time. Palestinian refugees trying to reach Europe are trapped in Greece indefinitely, stateless, with little hope beyond the next empty promise.
