Boy, Everywhere

Once safe in the UK, Sami is bullied and decides he’d do just about anything to return to Damascus – including, possibly, becoming a stowaway. His is a story of survival, of family, of bravery – and of how thin the line is between ‘them’ and ‘us’. How far would you go to find your way back home?
