"One In A Million" is a 2026 British-American documentary film directed by Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes. It follows a young girl (Israa) over the course of ten years as she travels from Syria to Germany, navigating war, exile, and heartbreak. It had its world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition, where it won the Audience Award. Directors Jack MacInness, Itab Azzam & Israa were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below.
