Having survived a spell in Syria’s notorious Sednaya prison, Hamid is now part of a secret group pursuing fugitive war criminals from Assad’s regime. His mission takes him to Strasbourg, on the trail of his former torturer whom he must confront.
A reflection on memory, trauma, and the recently ended Syrian civil war which propelled so much of the language and political response to the so-called ‘refugee crisis’, Ghost Trail offers a timely, tense, and spellbinding moment of reflection to mark the start of the 10th edition of London Migration Film Festival.

The London Migration Film Festival, which is holding its 10th annual edition from 27 November-3 December 2025, aims to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
