The Boy From Georgia
2027
Filmed over 15 years, The Boy From Georgia follows Dato, a paraplegic boy from the Republic of Georgia once expected to die in childhood, whose life changes when he is brought to Scotland for life-saving treatment.
Spanning childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, the film unfolds as an intimate longitudinal portrait of identity, care, and independence.
Now 25, Dato steps forward as a co-author of his own story, challenging what it means to be “saved.”
