Story
Assad dreams of leaving his war-torn homeland and seizes an opportunity when a US embassy green card lottery opens. He crafts fictional stories about families hoping to escape, submitting them for consideration. When one submission unexpectedly succeeds, he partners with Kamal, a Somali-American who has returned home, to find real people to pose as the characters during embassy interviews. What begins as an ambitious scheme to help others soon spirals into something far more complicated.
