Two families take a remarkable journey in this documentary by Mat Whitecross (co-director of The Road to Guantanamo), which follows a group of Burmese refugees travelling from temporary camps in Thailand to their new home in Sheffield.

Everyday life becomes something extraordinary when seen through the eyes of these newcomers.

There will be a Q&A with Director Mat Whitecross at the opening screening on Friday 22 January.
