Overview

Vanessa Redgrave makes her directorial debut with this impassioned documentary about the ongoing refugee crisis. The film implores the UK government and others to base their policies on human rights conventions for the protection of refugee children and their families. Joined by Lord Alfred Dubs, himself rescued from the Nazis in Czechoslovakia age 6 years in 1939, Redgrave recalls the words of William Shakespeare in defence of β€˜foreigners’ and in pity and shame for refugees who are drowned at sea.
