In This World
The journey to freedom has no borders.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Produced by BBC
A gritty, humanistic chronicle of two young refugees' perilous journey across continents, grounded in real hardship and the bonds of kinship.
Torn straight from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling and prescient 'In This World' follows young Afghan Jamal and his older cousin Enayat as they embark on a hazardous overland trip from their refugee camp at Peshawar, north-west Pakistan. Entering Turkey on foot through a snowy, Kurdish-controlled pass, the pair again take their lives into their hands and face suffocation when they are locked in a freight container on a ship bound for Italy. From there they plan to travel on to Paris, the Sangatte refuge centre and ultimately asylum in London.
