Sajid Khan Nasiri (Afghanistan) is one of the thousands of unaccompanied refugee children arriving in Western Europe every year in search of protection. They’ve often been through a life-threatening journey – which they call ‘the game’ – for many years. In the country of arrival, they hope to go to school and start a new life. But then a whole new game begins: ‘the mind game’. As a child, how do you deal with the enormous mental pressure of the journey, with distrustful authorities, and disturbing messages from the home front? The Mind Game is an intimate documentary about the psychological pressure that young refugees face, mostly filmed from a first hand perspective.
