Introduction

A rich oral tapestry of resilience beats at the heart of director’s David Bingong’s own journey from Africa to Spain during 2014. In revealing this rare first-hand perspective of a migrant’s journey, Bingong highlights the sense of kinship he felt with his fellow travellers. It’s a film of humour, defiance and unbridled hope, fuelled by group’s belief of a better life.
