Ghosts of Moria

Denmark | 2022 | 24 min

We meet Khalil and Ayham in the burnt-out Moria refugee camp. They are rooting about, pulling copper cords from wiring boxes, their clothing greased from the soot, ashes, oil and smoke. In the midst of starving cats, squeaking rats and the heavy stench of decayed garbage, they have set up a tent and survive by scavenging metal. Ghosts of Moria is a story from one location, the burnt-out Moria camp. It’s a universal story about how to survive in a post-apocalyptic universe, where human warmth and friendship are as precious as copper wiring - and as rare.
