Wandering: A Rohingya Story (French: Errance sans retour, lit. "Wandering Without Return") is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Mélanie Carrier and Olivier Higgins and released in 2020.[1] The film is a portrait of the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh, which houses a large number of refugees from the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar.[2]

Portions of the film were screened in January 2020 as part of Errance sans retour, a multimedia exhibition on the Rohingya crisis at Quebec City's Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in early 2020, alongside photography by Renaud Philippe.[3] The full film had its premiere at the Quebec City Film Festival on September 19, 2020.[4]

Awards

The film won the Public Prize at FCVQ,[5] and the award for Best Documentary at the Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie.[6]

The Musée des beaux-arts exhibition was named the winner of the Société des musées du Québec's Prix Télé-Québec - Coup de coeur du jury award for museum shows.[7]

The film won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021,[8] and was nominated for Best Cinematography in a Documentary (Philippe, Higgins).[9] It also received five Prix Iris nominations at the 23rd Quebec Cinema Awards, for Best Documentary, Best Cinematography in a Documentary (Philippe, Higgins), Best Editing in a Documentary (Higgins, Amélie Labrèche), Best Original Music in a Documentary (Martin Dumais) and Best Sound in a Documentary (Higgins, Pierre-Jules Audet, Luc Boudrias, Kala Miya).[10]
