Experiencing Interruptions?

The Journey

This short documentary film profiles three young male asylum seekers and refugees living in the UK who have journeyed across the world, escaping war and persecution.

Intimate interviews provide a glimpse of what it means to be forced to flee your home land, leaving behind the people that you love and everything that you know.

Using powerful first hand testimony, this film transcends some of the typical media constructions in order to explore the human aspect of what it really means to be a refugee - a person with fears, hopes and dreams.

Winner of the University of Wolverhampton 'Best Live Action Film 2017' award.
