SALVATION HAS NO NAME

"A troupe of clowns gather to perform a story about a Priest and a refugee but as their misguided tale unfolds, the boundaries between fiction and reality begin to fray."

‘Salvation Has No Name’ is a cinematic folk tale that acts as a political allegory, exploring prevalent themes of xenophobia and the refugee crisis. The film is Exec Produced by Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams and features an all-female voice cast including Itziar Ituño from Netflix’s Money Heist and Yasmine Al Massri from ABC’s Quantico. The film is funded by the BFI, France Television and the Czech Film Commission and premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival 2022 where the refugee organisation Choose Love was announced as the film’s official charity partner.
