- Our Take on This Must-See Film
You won’t believe the incredible news we just heard from the Ji.hlava Documentary Film Festival! James Longley’s film, ‘Mohabat,’ just took home the top prize in the Opus Bonum section. What a win!
This isn’t just any film. It’s a deep, quiet look at a 12-year-old boy named Mohabat. His world changes forever when his father is tragically lost in a drone strike. Suddenly, he’s left all alone and finds himself in a city orphanage.
The story is told by just watching him. Patiently. The film lets you see his interactions, his world. It truly sounds like a raw, honest look at a tough situation. The judges called it ‘meticulously researched and exquisitely crafted.’ That tells you everything!
The creative team behind this film is super impressive. James Longley directed it, and it was produced by Mohammad Sharif Hotak, Longley himself, and none other than Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. Serious talent here, bringing such an important story to life.
While everyone else is buzzing about Barcelona and the latest Serie A matchups, we think this kind of news is just as exciting. Maybe even more so! It reminds us of the power of art to tell human stories.

We can’t wait for more people to experience this carefully made film!
