Watch Journey of Hope For Free

That was an excellent one.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

As the movie itself, Alevis and Kurds successfully collaborated with Swiss while being deceived and tortured by their own patriots.It is a fact that many Kurds or Alevis had sought refugees in Switzerland. We keep seeing that the people of the same country, lie and deceive while the foreigners are helpful and kind. The religious man signifies the Sunnis, he is not humane, he make his friend carry his suitcase of religious books and do not tell about his friend so that the child would not be frozen. The throw of the suitcase signifies the bow to the religion, which unfavor the AlevisThe child is a the real hope, so this hope is finished. Haydar's last wish is to become friend with the truck driver, which highlights Haydar, rather Alevs needing some kind people to sympathize.

This is as powerful as a drama can possibly get! It's a story that in real life has probably repeated itself over and over again. The origin of the people may have changed. The location of their treacherous journey may have changed. But essentially, the drama remains the same, be it 20 years ago in the Swiss Alps, or today somewhere in the Mediterranean between Northern Africa and Italy.Those fleeing from Political turmoil, from war or simply from poverty, will do anything to find a better life, and hope is what is driving them. And along the way they are more than likely to come across scrupulous criminals whose sole interest is to make money out of the misery of those poor souls trying to find "paradise".I cannot think of a movie that would portray this better than "Journey Of Hope". It's extremely powerful and comes across as very believable all the way. No wonder, as the story repeats itself in reality time and time again. Only the outcome may vary.I can only recommend this film!

The Journey of Hope (1990) is about a trek that many nomadic and poor Turks make so they could live the good life in Switzerland. These people are so desperate to live like Westerners that they'll give up their life and lives in an attempt to reach the promised land. So many of them are swindled by greedy crooks who make their living off of charging huge fees for desperate people who are in a no win situation. One family braves the cold, the treacherous mountain range and predatory criminals only to discover that there's not always a shining white light at the end of the tunnel. This problem exists world wide, not just in America. Some people tend to forget that. A heart breaker of a film that'll leave you wondering why at the end.Highly recommended.

Everyday we can watch a great number of film, soap... on tv. Sometimes a miracle happens. A great film, with real feelings, with great actors, with a great realisator-director. For me there are two films that everyone needs to see : the first is the Pacula ? "Sophie 's choice" with Meryl Streep. The second is "Journey of Hope". As human beings, we need to learn about humility, about love of the others, about acceptation of other civilisation, other way of living. We also have to struggle against racism and fascim. We must avoid judging, criticize; we only have to love our earth companion. This wonderful film, helps us reaching John (Lennon) his dream : Imagine all the people living live in peace. These two films are difficult to see : watch these, but sure you will be hurt, but better. Great film, great actors, terrible story, pain and cry guarantee, but also better understanding of the others. Enjoy it.
