In association with Amnesty International Mid-Down Group to mark International Human Rights Day on 10 December.

A deeply affecting & essential documentary, which puts an uncomfortably human face on the burgeoning modern refugee crisis. Miraculously recorded on just three smartphones by husband & wife Fazili & Fatima Hussaini, this brave, troubling film chronicles their epic three-year journey with their two young daughters from their home in Afghanistan to Europe in a desperate, hopeful search for asylum. This edited footage walks a highly emotional tightrope throughout, taking in unflinching glimpses of horrendous suffering, fear & humiliation for the family, tempered with scenes of deeply touching familial warmth, support & love. It’s an incredible experience, following the family’s endeavours to reach their safe place, and ultimate sanctuary, feeling via their phone footage the turmoil, the humiliations and the sheer tedium of waiting. It brings into painfully sharp focus the reality that this story of upheaval and disruption is but one that literally millions of families are enduring.

Heart-breaking but full of hope, this documentary makes for essential viewing to see behind the curtain of the meaningless statistics.
