Shot on location in Jordan whilst filming feature documentary The Portal - www.entertheportal.com

A moment of pure unconditional love between Director Jacqui Fifer and Mais Sweidan after filming what would become one of the most iconic scenes in the film (depicted in 'Left Behind').


The images in this project were taken on location whilst filming the documentary 'The Portal', a film seeking out stories of inspiration and hope. From the USA, to Jordan, to Australia we followed in the footsteps of several awe-inspiring individuals, learning how they overcame adversity and crisis to explore the unique potential that all humans have to change our world from the inside out.

The film embodies a hybrid of documentary storytelling and dramatic reconstructions of pivotal moments from our characters' lives. This project illustrates moments from our filming journey - where we not only captured what we set out to film, but also had the privilege of experiencing so much more.
