WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Wendy (Headey) is a hardened immigration officer who is offered a high-profile asylum case, based on her ability to quickly and clinically reject clients. As she interviews a man named Haile (Jeremiah), who tells her the harrowing story of his perilous journey that took him across oceans, past borders, and through the Calais Jungle, she must determine if the man is telling the truth or if he has a more sinister reason for coming to the UK…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Based on numerous true cases of refugees making the dangerous journey past borders and into the safety and security of our country, this is a compelling showcase for actor Ivanno Jeremiah, with Lena Headey in a role that’s just as important.
