LOST AND FOUND

ABOUT

A brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and violence perpetrated by the Myanmar military has driven more than 700,000 Rohingya from their homes, separating thousands of families from loved ones along the way. Lost and Found, directed by Academy Award winner Orlando von Einsiedel, is an inspiring story of humanity and heroism in the world’s largest refugee camp; it follows Kamal Hussein, a Rohingya refugee who has dedicated his life to reuniting children with their parents.
