Down The River (Blostlandic: Nedströms) (Ghaillish: Síos an Abhainn) (Tsarbari Rahelian: ‘Asfal Alnahr) is a 2022 Psychological drama filmed throughout late 2021 and early 2022. Directed by Anwar Mustafa Adil, produced by Björn Lindblom, and written by Anwar Mustafa Adil & Bridget Hermansson; the film is a fictional story following the struggle of a Tsabaran immigrant who has immigrated to Blostland fleeing the Tsabaran Civil War. Using inspiration from his own life Adil depicts a harsh yet hopeful reality that reflects the struggle of immigrant populations in western countries transferring out of a state of isolationism and xenophobia. The film would be funded by the Blostlandic government and subsequently would be used as Blostlands film for the 2022 Montecara Film Fest. The film has generated controversy around the country for its representation of racism, sexism, and minority communities; along with the music production being by Íon Mac Ailin who is a trans man. Various conservative organizations have called the film “Vallmo Propaganda” and highly unrealistic, because of this a convserative boycott of the film has been announced by [wip] though many believe it will not hurt the profits of the film.
