Refugees

Zak Brophy studied Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Edinburgh. He has travelled widely around the Middle East, including spending time as a volunteer for Unipal in a refugee camp in Lebanon. For Radio 1812, he talked to Cathy Aitchison about his experiences there and about how the people who he met influenced his own attitudes to life and travel.

What lengths would you go to if you found out that your neighbours were being threatened with deportation? All over the country, UK communities are organising themselves to stop their friends and neighbours being deported.

Rachel Stevenson and Harriet Grant are both journalists – they met up with some of the people involved. In this interview for Refugee Week Radio they talk about what they found and about their film ‘The Resistance: On The Deportation Frontline’ (GuardianFilms).
