Inside My Heart humanizes the global refugee crisis by documenting three refugee families as they search for safety after fleeing their war-torn countries.
We are deeply grateful to Canadian Embassy in Europe for showing our film to audiences that can help and make a difference. It was with great joy to present the film alongside the Ayobi family, who finally obtained Asylum in Sweden @InsideMyHeartdf @GiustraFdn
Inside My Heart Director, Debra Kellner, is interviewed this morning in Paris France on FR24 to discuss her film produced by Frank Giustra, Serge Lalou, Richard Copans. @InsideMyHeartdf @GiustraFdn #refugees
At the height of the European refugee crisis, over 1.8 million people crossed the EU’s borders illegally. Debra Kellner stands at the Greece-Macedonia border in this photo from 2016. Inside My Heart will soon be available for educational screenings.

“It's so gratifying to see what freedom looks like on people’s faces," said @DebKellnerFilm, director of Inside My Heart. She recently went to Sweden to visit the family she followed and filmed during their journey from Afghanistan.

It was a packed house for the Swedish premiere of our film, Inside My Heart, on the weekend. The premiere coincided with a visit from Director @DebKellnerFilm, who was in Sweden to film a short follow-up about twins Saghar and Sahar and their family. #WithRefugees#refugees
Saghar and her twin attended school only briefly in Afghanistan before their family fled. They stopped going after the Taliban poisoned the water at their all-girls school. Today, the family is living in Sweden, where education is a right for all.

More than 12,000 refugees/migrants – including Mohammed, featured in @InsideMyHeartdf – were stuck in Greece 3 years ago when the border with Macedonia closed. Today, 47 migrants rescued off the Libyan coast remain adrift after both Italy and the Netherlands refused them.
In a world where desperate refugees are used as pawns for often violent political ends, this poignant film shows us that refugees are ordinary mothers, fathers, boys, and girls -- people like you and me, who usually uplift and enrich their new communities. https://t.co/QgNFuVmhan
As we set our sights toward the promise of the new year, remember those who look across oceans for promise. In 2018, more than 112k refugees and migrants arrived in Europe by sea. The UNHCR estimates more than 2,200 people died or went missing while making the desperate journey.
Keeping children safe is the top priority for nearly every mother. #Refugees are no exception. Zahra, who fled Syria with her children, tells her youngest she hid him inside her heart while they crossed the sea. More than half the world’s refugees are children, says the UNHCR.
Saghar and Sahar fled Afghanistan with their family a few years ago. Everyone in their boat would have died if it weren't for the Greek Coast Guard. The United Nations says close to 3400 migrants and refugees have died this year.https://t.co/Xka1uPUArb #internationalmigrantsday
Every child has the right to play. Twin girls Saghar and Sahar fled Afghanistan after their uncle was brutally murdered. They endured a long, dangerous journey before landing in Siljansnas, Sweden. Here, they play hockey with other refugees.
