<div><strong><em>Synopsis</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 1944, dictator Enver Hoxha rose to power, sinking Albania into a totalitarian ruin. Amongst the violence and surveillance, two men set off on their own journey of freedom and resistance. Tomor Selenica escaped a labor prison while Alush Lleshanaku advanced in the ranks of one of the largest anti-communist resistance groups. Told from the perspective of historians and living relatives, “A Journey To Freedom” amplifies the voices of the silenced. A raw, emotional investigation of a history written by the oppressor and now gathered by Director Anisa Selenica, the descendant of these two brave men. This is the story of two families surviving and fighting against a dictatorship.

</div>
<div><strong><em>Filmmaking Approach </em></strong>
</div>
<div>No narration will be necessary when we have living eyewitnesses and academic authorities on these subjects. We will jump back and forth between America and Albania, cutting between highly polished interviews and casual conversations, cinéma vérité style. Director Anisa Selenica will cook a traditional Albanian meal with her parents and grandmother, spliced with footage of her extended family in Albania detailing what their life was like under a ruthless regime and what it took to survive.

<div><strong><em>Risks &amp; Challenges</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Making a documentary is no small task. Some challenges include travel logistics, securing high-quality equipment, and balancing the need for a professional crew with budget constraints. However, as someone deeply passionate about my family’s story and committed to filmmaking, I have carefully planned around these obstacles. I’ll work with a team of experienced filmmakers and professionals to bring this vision to life, and I’m ready to navigate any setbacks with flexibility and determination.
