Red Path (Les Enfants Rouges) (15)

Red Path

Set in the mountains of Tunisia, Lotfi Achour's latest drama explores innocence lost in the face of terror.

Set in the shadow of Tunisia’s Mghila Mountains, 13-year-old Achraf endures a harrowing ordeal when jihadists attack him and his cousin, Nizar. Told through the eyes of these young boys, the film explores the deep-seated damage trauma does. 

Premiered at Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente, the film has garnered accolades including the Golden Tanit at Carthage, the Audience Award at Vancouver, as well as the Golden Yusr for Best Feature Film and the Best Director Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival.

Lotfi Achour's previous short films Father (Père) and Law of Lamb (La Laine sur le dos) both screened in the short film competition at Cannes in 2016. In his second feature, Red Path offers a poignant reflection on the enduring impact of violence and the strength found in confronting it.​
