Red Path

29 – 23 June, 2025
In the shadow of Tunisia’s Mghila Mountains, 13-year-old Achraf endures a harrowing ordeal when jihadists attack him and his cousin, Nizar. Forced to carry Nizar’s severed head back to their village as a gruesome warning, Achraf embarks on a journey that blurs the lines between trauma and resilience. Based on true events, Lotfi Achour’s Red Path is a haunting exploration of innocence lost amidst terror.
Premiered at Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente, the film has garnered accolades including the Golden Tanit at Carthage, the Audience Award at Vancouver, as well as the Golden Yusr for Best Feature Film and the Best Director Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival.
Red Path offers a poignant reflection on the enduring impact of violence and the strength found in confronting it.
