#5 Hamoudi

We speak to Hamoudi about his journey from Iraq to Bosnia. Among other things, he tells us about border-crossings, bears and life in the camp. 

Mostafa talks to us about his home in Iran, his journey, his experiences of racism and  how we can work to overcome our preconceptions. 

Akram tells us the story of his journey from Algeria to Bosnia.

We find out about push-backs and look specifically at the border of Europe between Croatia and Bosnia. We talk to people who have been violently pushed back and the volunteers and NGO professionals who have been speaking out against the brutal and illegal human rights violations of border police across Europe.

This episode is in an introduction to our migration myth-busting. It provides a way in to understanding the "migrant crisis" as it is now. We ask WHO is making the journey to Europe and WHY they are making it. With extracts from interviews with refugees and NGO workers taken throughout the Balkan region, we tackle the big questions head on.
