"I just hope they'll wake up." An official festival promo trailer has debuted for an indie documentary titled Wake Up on Mars, which was set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this month. With the festival launching an online version this week, the doc is hoping to stand out from the crowd. The film focuses on Furkan, the youngest member of a Roma family living in Sweden. His two teenage sisters lie in a vegetative state in their small Swedish home of their Kosovar family, the cause of their mysterious malady, known as "resignation syndrome," entwined with their personal trauma experienced as refugees. Hoping their asylum request is granted, as they do not want to return to Kosovo, Furkan dreams of building his own spaceship to go live on Mars and help save his two sisters. Described as a "delicate, beautifully realized story of a refugee Roma family." This looks like a moving and inspiring story of hope - something we need more of right now. ›››
