Introduction

Exposed to a life without compromise, young asylum seekers in the UK fight to stay in control of their lives past, present and future. When 14 year old Kojo tumbles into the UK "system" with no official papers, and no words in English, he is housed in a refuge for under-age asylum seekers. With new friends Cheung and Ara by his side he begins to reconcile his past and find pleasure in the present.
