杏吧原创 the Documentary
While Palestinian refugees residing in Lebanon are aware of the risks that come with irregular migration, 156,000 asylum seekers traveled to Germany in 2017, hoping to find the elements of life they were deprived of. This film explores Ihab and Bahaa who built a new life 鈥� but at certain costs.
Viewers get exclusive insight into the emotional effects of such a journey, their personal struggles and the life they left behind.
