In This World

Torn straight from the headlines Michael Winterbottom's compelling and prescient 'In This World' follows young Afghan Jamal and his older cousin Enayat as they embark on a hazardous overland trip from their refugee camp at Peshawar north-west Pakistan. Entering Turkey on foot through a snowy Kurdish-controlled pass the pair again take their lives into their hands and face suffocation when they are locked in a freight container on a ship bound for Italy. From there they plan to travel on to Paris the Sangatte refuge centre and ultimately asylum in London.
