"HADŽIJA" is a documentary film about Rifet Karić from Busovača, who set out on foot for the Hajj in February 2023. Along his journey, he faced a series of problems that eventually forced him to complete his pilgrimage illegally. The film's story begins with a Facebook status by Rifet Karić, informing his relatives and friends that he had started his journey to fulfill his long-standing desire and intention (niyyah). After reading the status, the Mayor of Busovača organized a farewell prayer (dova) in the Kaćuni mosque, where everyone surprised Karić but also tried to dissuade him from this dangerous undertaking. Refusing to accept anyone's advice or concerns, Rifet Karić continued his journey, which ultimately spanned nearly 5,000 km. The film follows Rifet's path through his confession and materials he filmed during the journey and posted on Facebook, using the social network as one of the primary storytelling tools. Besides Rifet, the film simultaneously follows the testimonies of people he met along the way who both helped and hindered him in achieving his goal. Through the story itself, we meet people of different nationalities and religions who bond and help Rifet—from ordinary people across Albania, Serbia, Greece, Turkey, and Jordan, to Orthodox and Catholic priests. After more than 4,000 kilometers, Rifet Karić was stopped at the border with Saudi Arabia and returned to Jordan, where he spent nearly two months waiting for a visa. Although he attempted to obtain a visa through political, religious, and other channels, Rifet eventually met a group that organizes illegal border crossings and illegal Hajj performances. His desire to go to Hajj on foot becomes a desire to fulfill his intention by any means, as he questions whether something that is not according to human laws is also a sin according to God's laws. Rifet Karić, along with thousands of other believers, crosses the border, is arrested, and then released. Exhausted, tired, and with nothing left, he sees a light in the desert that guides him to Mecca.
