Three documentary filmmakers went to Calais to make a film about refugees trying to get into Britain, but then they met sixteen-year-old Abdul in a food queue. His first words were a story about being shot at by machine guns on the Iranian border and the filmmakers knew this was a character to focus on, but a long-term documentary in Calais suddenly turned into a road movie that no one expected. On the Run With Abdul is a film about a teenage refugee and the filmmakers who inadvertently became part of his story. www.quarkfilms.com
