Exodus: Our Journey

In this first episode we meet Dame, who arrived in the UK over 17 months ago. "I am a ghost in a prison" is how he describes his experience of life as a refugee in London.

Ali and are Sharin are newly weds from Afghanistan. They have spent the last month camping on the streets of Thessaloniki, waiting for smugglers to get them across the heavily guarded borders into Macedonia and Serbia. This is not the honeymoon they dreamed of.

The rise of the right reverberates across Europe. Nazifa and Latif make a potentially life-changing decision.

We also revisit Israa and her family (from series one), who risked their lives escaping Syria in 2015 and made the terrifying journey to Europe when borders were open and refugees welcome. They're living in a flat in Germany, and Israa is facing her first day at school.

Meanwhile, Azizula must face his fears and attempt to cross the Hungarian border, knowing it is patrolled by armed guards who use dogs to deter and attack the refugees attempting to cut through the fence from Serbia to Hungary.

This final episode of the series follows the fate of Nazifa and her family as they make a final attempt to reach Germany. We catch up with Sadiq, who in series one managed to travel from Afghanistan to his destination of Finland in just 45 days. However, the welcome he experienced when he arrived has not been sustained. Across Europe policies have changed and deals have been struck, which means that if Sadiq's asylum claim fails, he faces forced deportation. Across the Atlantic, the USA is no longer welcoming refugees from the Middle East. President Trump's executive orders have far reaching consequences for those who were on the verge of emigrating to join family members already in the USA. We meet Saed and his family, who are Yezidis from Iraq, one of Daesh's main targets. They are living in a refugee camp waiting for their papers to be processed.
