Abstract
- The article presents an interview with Babak Jalali focuses on film "Fremont," centering on the story of Donya, a young Afghan woman navigating life in California after being airlifted out of Kabul. The film tackles displacement, trauma, and immigrant experiences while employing deadpan absurdist comedy and the portrayal of immigrant struggles, the use of humor to convey profound depth, and the visual storytelling techniques employed to highlight isolation and hopefulness in the narrative.
