Too Far Away (2019)
Ben (11) and Tariq (12) have more in common than they realise. Both are new to school and football and have lost their homeland. Ben's village will soon became an open brown coal mine. He and his family move to a nearby city but Ben fails to fit in at his new school. Bullied, he returns secretly to his old, abandoned home. His one pleasure, football, pales with the arrival of Tariq, a Syrian refugee and better player. But when bureaucracy stops Tariq playing, he runs away, Ben finds him and learns that Tariq is desperate to be reunited with his scattered family. Jealousy on the football field becomes friendship and understanding.

Reviews
Best movie of this year hands down!
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
