Event Cinemas Cairns Central 1/21 McLeod St, Cairns, QLD, AustraliaIn this acclaimed film which won top directing and acting prizes at the Venice Film Festival, writer-director Garrone presents a "reverse shot" of the immigration experience while unfurling an epic, cinematographically magnificent odyssey from West Africa to Italy.
