Challenge
The ONE Foundation tasked Rockshot in creating a documentary about the life of Zak Moradi, focusing on his journey from growing up in a refugee camp in Kurdistan of Iraq to becoming a pillar of the community in Ireland.
To meet this challenge, we embarked on a project titled “HOME,” an intimate documentary that offers a profound insight into Zak Moradi’s remarkable life journey. Zak’s story, as narrated through the documentary, starts with his childhood in a refugee camp in Iraq and beautifully unfolds as he becomes a cherished figure within the Irish community. In Zak’s own words, “It’s about the life of a refugee and what a refugee is.” With this vision, we set out to create a documentary that would not only illuminate the extraordinary life of an individual but also shed light on the broader narrative of refugees around the world.
