A refugee’s story, told in animated documentary

There’s a lot to be said about the way cinema tackles refugee stories and the innovative creative choices that filmmakers recently, especially, have been making. In The Big Issue, we’ve explored the subject in conjunction with the release of the stellar British film .

Then there’s Remi Weekes’ , which presented the plight of a Sudanese couple faced with a supernatural threat in their temporary English accommodation after escaping the horrors of war.
