Refugee

If you were forced to leave your home and could only take one bag, what would you take? What would it feel like to be on the run from your own country, in the hope of finding a safe place somewhere else?

In this short drama for schools, we meet a young girl and her family in an unknown land and discover how they came to be there, far away from home.

BAFTA Press Release

I have used Refugee with my students and they always sit in silence at the end, reflecting on what they have seen. It brings the refugee crisis home to them, because they are more able to empathise with the characters in the film. It is a great discussion starter, and changes stereotypes and prejudice.
