North American Premiere

This documentary produced in collaboration with Amnesty International, highlights the plight of destitute refused asylum seekers living in the UK. The UK Government has forced thousands of refused asylum seekers into abject poverty in an attempt to drive them out of the country. Many are too fearful to return home as they are from countries torn apart by conflict or where human rights abuses are rife.
