0:00:02 > 0:00:04MUFFLED CONVERSATION
0:00:04 > 0:00:11This programme contains some strong language
0:00:14 > 0:00:17I've never travelled to Europe before.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I don't know what's the atmosphere towards refugees.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25It didn't feel like we were welcomed
0:00:25 > 0:00:27by all those countries we were going through.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32We were certainly not welcome.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37WOMAN:
0:00:40 > 0:00:44This is the story of the migrant crisis...
0:00:50 > 0:00:54..told by the people who risked everything
0:00:54 > 0:00:57for the dream of a better life in Europe.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Me and my wife, we agreed
0:01:02 > 0:01:05that I will travel to the UK
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and my family will later on join me.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13In Syria, sometimes a minute
0:01:13 > 0:01:17can change the entire life of you or your family.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Me and my friends, we spent three full days...
0:01:36 > 0:01:40..in the back of that lorry...
0:01:40 > 0:01:41motionless...
0:01:44 > 0:01:48..and that lorry never moved.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Three full days, doing nothing.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18We gave up.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22We said, "OK, if, at 6pm,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24"the lorry does not move,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26"we're going to call the police
0:02:26 > 0:02:29"because we cannot stay here any more."
0:02:31 > 0:02:35At three, the lorry started moving.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And we knew that we are on the ferry somewhere on the sea.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Then, suddenly...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59the ferry stopped.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I closed my eyes and I started crying.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I was thinking of my family, you know, my wife and...
0:03:11 > 0:03:16' I said, "I've done all this entire journey for my family.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20' "Please, I just want to end up in the UK."
0:03:24 > 0:03:27'We turned on our mobiles
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'and the first message I got on my mobile was,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33' "Welcome to the UK." '
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I've made it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43After almost two months from leaving Syria,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45now I am in the UK.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now my dream is coming true.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So glad, so happy that I've made it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58FOOTSTEPS
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'We got out of that lorry...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18'Then a car stopped and it turned out that they are the police.'
0:04:20 > 0:04:23They came with this very strange accent.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I didn't understand what they...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27"Hello, fella, how you doing?"
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's like, you know...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I didn't understand.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33"Is this England?"
0:04:33 > 0:04:35He said, "Yeah, this is England, fella."
0:04:35 > 0:04:38You know, it's a very different accent.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He said, "OK, you just calm down. We'll take you to Immigration."
0:04:50 > 0:04:53They fingerprinted us, they interviewed us,
0:04:53 > 0:04:59then they said, "OK, we're going to disperse you to Wakefield."
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It looks nice. Beautiful.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- JOURNALIST:- What do you think? - I don't know!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I wonder how he is sitting there. It looks crazy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Is he heavy?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Thank you...for him.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- There.- Sorry, I haven't seen it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Thank you.- All right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- If you need help, just let me know how I can help you.- All right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56My plan was to get to the UK and I got here.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The next step is to get asylum...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06..so I can get my family here safely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14And the sooner I get a family reunion,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16the sooner my family will be leaving Syria.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Governments are simply dealing with the symptoms of the problem
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and now they need to tackle the roots of it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- OVERLAPPING NEWS REPORTS - 3,000 refugees and migrants
0:06:38 > 0:06:41have crossed the Mediterranean from Africa this year...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45..from further south in Africa will be very difficult to control.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48This truck from Libya had 50 people hidden in hay bales.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50..desperate people willing to risk everything...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53..thousands of miles of desert border to patrol.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10CAR HORNS BEEP
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Chop-chops!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING
0:07:35 > 0:07:37They are my sisters, you know.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39They...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- To family. - ALL:- Yeah! To family.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06..Europe, Europe, Europe.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- JOURNALIST:- Is this your kitchen? - Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22No.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Does he know you're leaving?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- But you're leaving tonight.- Yes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- How come you haven't told him?- Hmm? - How come you haven't told him?
0:10:11 > 0:10:1696, 84, 92, 58.
0:10:16 > 0:10:185...8.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Which is about...?
0:11:00 > 0:11:022,000 euro.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- 2,000 euro?- Yeah, 2,000 euro.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Are you scared?- No.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm not scared.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36OVERLAPPING NEWS REPORTS
0:11:36 > 0:11:38..ill-equipped and overcrowded boats...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Over 2,500 people are known to have drowned...
0:11:40 > 0:11:4225 bodies were recovered...
0:11:42 > 0:11:45More than 1,000 people are feared dead...
0:11:45 > 0:11:49..4,000 people were rescued from the Mediterranean...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52..been described as a graveyard for migrants.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54..migrants died in two big shipwrecks.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03So...
0:12:58 > 0:13:02HUM OF CONVERSATION
0:13:49 > 0:13:51FIRE CRACKLES
0:13:51 > 0:13:53BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Let us go back. Go back, go back.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Go back. It's tear gas.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10There is nothing different between Africa and here.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15MEN CALL OUT
0:14:49 > 0:14:52(This is good.)
0:14:52 > 0:14:55So, basically, we climb up there...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02When I get there, I take off my clothes,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04put them in a plastic bag.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I go down and then I get into the water,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I swim to the other side,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14till I reach the stairs.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Dry myself up, put my clothes on, climb up the stairs,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21wait for the sniffing dogs to be gone and then hide under the trucks.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25The truck takes me to the ferry and then the ferry moves.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And there you are, UK-bound.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34You see, that's a security car, there.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16For a month, I had my friends with me.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23But both of them made it on the same day, and I didn't.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And as happy as I was for both of them...
0:16:32 > 0:16:37in my heart, I was not happy.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44They've made it to the UK.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Now I'm on my own.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Before I got close to the ladder,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I noticed that there was a maintenance mini boat
0:17:07 > 0:17:11that had two people on it very close to the ladder.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I thought, "I'm going to get caught.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18"I'll rest tonight and then try again tomorrow night."
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Welcome to the Jungle.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I called it the graveyard of hopes, or the graveyard of dreams...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42..cos a lot of people like, just, lose it there,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44they just don't make it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53I got ten cigarettes for one euro.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's not so bad - for one euro.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07There was one guy I met
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and I was like, "So, how do I get to England?", and he started laughing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12He literally started laughing and he was like...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16"Er...I've been here for a year."
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And that's when I was like, "Holy shit."
0:18:31 > 0:18:33CONVERSATIONS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
0:18:34 > 0:18:38First of all, I was like, "OK, what's the worst that could happen?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41"There's free food and there are showers and a toilet."
0:18:41 > 0:18:43But there's just too much misery in here.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31The morning time, I'm thinking of how I'm going to get into the UK
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and, at night-time, I'm trying to get into the UK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Walking for around two to three hours every single night.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Jumping over three fences.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The police is everywhere - they're circling the area.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55'And then getting caught and being sent back to the Jungle -
0:19:55 > 0:19:58'that was every single night while I was in Calais.'
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Three of those times I was on the train, but I would get caught
0:20:04 > 0:20:06a minute or two before the train starts moving.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I tried the lorries.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12DOG BARKS
0:20:12 > 0:20:16That's even harder than the train cos...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18it's very dangerous.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31The truck just started moving, I'm just letting you know...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35about ten minutes ago, and it's very, very, very cold.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37We're almost freezing in here.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Er, we've been in the lorry for almost nine hours now.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44CLATTERING
0:20:44 > 0:20:47It's full of Duracell batteries.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49There's only a few of us.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54However, we think that the truck is going the wrong direction.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It's not going towards Calais. It's going towards Paris.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Let's just hope that we're wrong.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11I shouldn't have risked my life that much, to be honest.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20But I was desperate and...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24..I had to try everything.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I spent 60 days in Calais.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You never know. Maybe, like, if...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42My mom tells me that, "Hassan, maybe you'll cross to the UK
0:21:42 > 0:21:45"and maybe you won't be successful there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48"Maybe you'll find success somewhere else, so don't just..."
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I don't know.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56HE SNIFFS
0:21:59 > 0:22:00HE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:23:10 > 0:23:13THEY SPEAK IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:24:38 > 0:24:40SHE CONTINUES TO PRAY
0:26:13 > 0:26:15SHOUTING
0:26:57 > 0:26:58CAR HORN BEEPS
0:27:01 > 0:27:04PEOPLE SHOUTING
0:27:09 > 0:27:11CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER
0:27:32 > 0:27:34These are our tickets that we buy today,
0:27:34 > 0:27:39so we are ready to take the journey from here to Agadez.
0:29:09 > 0:29:122,000, this one. 2,000.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
0:32:58 > 0:33:02SHOUTING
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I would never have ever thought of going to England
0:33:08 > 0:33:10if I knew how bad Calais was.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18SHOUTING
0:33:19 > 0:33:21SHOUTING OUTSIDE
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I spent the worst days of my life in Calais.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I...
0:33:33 > 0:33:35..fucking hate Calais.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40A friend of mine knows someone who has around
0:33:40 > 0:33:46nine people from his family who made it to the UK using a fake passport.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51He gave me his number, I contacted him and he was like,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54"Send me your pictures
0:33:54 > 0:33:57"and the passport will be ready in five days.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01And...I'm going to go to Paris.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Another friend of mine offered to give me his flat,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07so I can stay there, spend the night.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Tomorrow morning, hopefully, I'll pick up the passport...
0:34:10 > 0:34:13and off we go.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18If it works, it works.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21If it doesn't work, then I have tried everything.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Back in Syria, every time it rains,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30my mum would say it's a blessful day.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33So hopefully, now that it's raining,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35it's all going to go for the best.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44When I think about my memories...
0:34:47 > 0:34:49..when I think about how Syria was...
0:34:51 > 0:34:54..it is very happy memories.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Back in Syria, we used to take pride
0:35:06 > 0:35:08when we say, "I'm from Damascus."
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Because Damascus is the oldest inhabited capital in the world.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17It was amazing. It was incredible.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I loved growing up in my city.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23THEY CHAT AND LAUGH
0:35:27 > 0:35:31'Suddenly, this all disappeared.'
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Syria has a long past of dictatorship and...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41..corruption and...
0:35:42 > 0:35:45We did see it coming. We knew it was going to happen.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- NEWS REPORTS:- The anti-government protests are spreading...
0:35:49 > 0:35:53..demonstrations. Many in Syria fear the days ahead
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- could see more violence... - ..beyond the point of fear...
0:35:56 > 0:35:58..became a civil war...
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Many have been killed... - The target of people's anger,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03President Bashar al-Assad...
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Mr Assad's regime responded with bullets and tanks...
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Anti-government protesters shot by the security forces...
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Going on protests in Syria was like going on a suicide mission.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28You would go and you may never come back.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34CROWD CHANTS AND CLAPS
0:36:36 > 0:36:42Suddenly, we were surrounded by military intelligence police...
0:36:42 > 0:36:44fully armed.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46HE EXHALES
0:36:50 > 0:36:52They had iron poles
0:36:52 > 0:36:56and, as soon as they arrived, they were like,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58"Give us your phones and your...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02"Empty your pockets. Throw them on the floor." We did.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06And they were like, "Lie down. Lie down on the floor." We did.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11And they were rough, around 20 minutes of heavy beating,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and they used to hit to deform.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16They...
0:37:16 > 0:37:17It's...
0:37:25 > 0:37:26I...
0:37:28 > 0:37:32All I used to think about is that I don't want to lose my face.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36And I was protecting my face with both of my arms,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39and so both of them got very badly broken.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41My wrists where shattered.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46And they wouldn't stop. They just wouldn't stop.
0:37:46 > 0:37:52And you're screaming for mercy or pleading for them to stop,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54but they just wouldn't.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03I've got two of my ribs broken and my left leg was...
0:38:04 > 0:38:10..was heavily damaged after that long session of beating.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14They took us to the station...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19..put us in a cell
0:38:19 > 0:38:21and...things were very ugly there.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26It's just inhumane on many different levels.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm just going to stop for...
0:38:42 > 0:38:46HE SOBS
0:38:49 > 0:38:52HE EXHALES
0:39:06 > 0:39:10I've got here my new passport and here is my new name.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Faredo...Neslav...
0:39:15 > 0:39:20The smuggler also sent me this via e-mail, which is the boarding pass.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22The next step...
0:39:22 > 0:39:23PHONE RINGS
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Sorry.- That's all right.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Hello?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41SHE LAUGHS
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Oh, my God.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39I'm already freaking out - I shouldn't -
0:40:39 > 0:40:41but I'm really, really scared.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Faredo...
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Faredo...Neslav.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Faredo Neslav.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21I called the smuggler and he told me that there was a guy
0:41:21 > 0:41:26who was on the previous flight and he made it, he made it through,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29so there's nothing to worry about, so go ahead.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I walked to the airport,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47I checked my flight on the screen.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53I walked through and there was a passport control.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I think my looks helped me a bit
0:41:56 > 0:41:59because the guy didn't even go through my passport.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21The gate opened.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I stood in the queue and...
0:42:26 > 0:42:28..I heard my name.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT IN FRENCH
0:42:39 > 0:42:41They called my name...
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I approached the staff.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56And he immediately tells me, "It's a fake passport."
0:43:01 > 0:43:05No matter how awful the state I'm in right now...
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Every night, I think of those who...
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Those who died on the way.
0:43:13 > 0:43:19Like, so many people sank in the Mediterranean...
0:43:20 > 0:43:22..and, just yesterday,
0:43:22 > 0:43:2770 people were found suffocated in a truck in Austria.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30They were abandoned by their smuggler.
0:43:30 > 0:43:35There were people who died getting on in the train in Macedonia.
0:43:35 > 0:43:40So for all of those who were seeking a better life
0:43:40 > 0:43:42and they died on the way there...
0:43:44 > 0:43:47..I feel like those are the people who keep me going.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56For you to die while trying to escape death is really...
0:44:04 > 0:44:07For you to die while escaping death is something
0:44:07 > 0:44:09which is very hard to accept,
0:44:09 > 0:44:12but I feel like this is all meant to be.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14I mean...
0:44:14 > 0:44:16That's it.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36I just got this post off the postman.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32I posted something on Facebook,
0:45:32 > 0:45:36and these people just called me and said,
0:45:36 > 0:45:38"Please, come live with us."

0:46:14 > 0:46:17Well, yeah, because, when I arrived,
0:46:17 > 0:46:20I didn't drink the English tea...
0:46:20 > 0:46:23and now I am becoming English.
0:46:25 > 0:46:31My family live near the Turkish border...at some point here.

0:46:58 > 0:47:02if the application has been accepted or rejected.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05It's a very dangerous, horrible journey.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08We're willing to house them all here
0:47:08 > 0:47:10until they get themselves sorted out.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13We've got the space to do it.
