War Child (2017x22)


:

From award-winning director Jamie Roberts and award-winning executive producers Simon Chinn, Katie Buchanan and Jonathan Chinn, War Child follows three refugee children from the Middle East on their dangerous journeys to what they hope is a new future in Europe. As the UK debates how best to help refugees from the Middle East, including whether to halt the 'Dubs scheme' that was specifically set up to provide sanctuary to child refugees, and countries such as Germany start to reconsider their asylum policies, War Child is a timely reminder of the dangers and hardships that child refugees face on their journey. Documenting the dramatic personal stories of families and unaccompanied children fighting to get to Western Europe against the odds and often illegally, Jamie Roberts is with the children almost every step of the way as they are forced to find dangerous or illicit means to reach loved ones and safety.
