The extraordinary and uplifting true story of one boy's journey across the world to escape death, war and destruction, and his inspiring life spent trying to help refugees and displaced people find safety and security against all odds.
The extraordinary true story of hope, courage and survival and one boy's journey across the world to find safety
When Mir was thirteen, he was forced to flee his village in the mountains of Afghanistan. Separated from his family he embarked on an astonishing journey across snowy mountains, treacherous land and unforgiving seas, until he reached Dover clinging to the underside of a lorry.
It was in the UK that he realised his journey had only just begun. This is Mir's unbelievable story of seeking a better life and education, and the marks left by displacement.
