Coming from an abusive family life in Uganda to facing isolation and despair upon immigrating to the US, Brolin found sanctuary in the unlikely sport of snowboarding. Combined with a passion for education, Brolin was able to find an eclectic community that fostered his growth in times of need. Brolin now strives to be the first snowboarder to represent an African country in the Olympics while simultaneously pursuing a career in medicine. “Far From Home” is a character-driven story that shows the impact a positive community can have on the life of another.

The film has won awards at the ColdSmoke Film Festival and Jackson Hole Planet, and has been an official selection at several film festivals, including Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Stockholm Junior Film Festival, and Sun Valley Film Festival.

The movie screens in Estonia in the American Film Showcase program of the U.S. Embassy in Estonia.
