2026 African Film Festival Atlanta Shorts Program 5: "Beyond Stoppable (Day 4)

From the venue:

"Beyond Unstoppable"

In the heart of DeKalb County, Georgia, a young Somali refugee struggles with grief and anger after losing his father and sister back home. His mother, working two jobs to keep them afloat, longs to be present for her son but is too overworked to be the steady presence he needs. On long train rides to escape his circumstances, he glimpses a soccer field, a flash of hope in a life overshadowed by loss.
