    Heartbreaking

    This is a powerful well done documentary. It is not the only one done about the tragedy in Syria in the past few years and the ones by the BBC are probably way superior. But it is still a heartbreaking important documentary which the world should take notice of. Impossible not to spare a tear.

    "The war made us grow up"

    Heart-tending story of Syrian refugee... As Trump said "he can not let US turn into a 'migrant camp'", more than 1M Syrian refuges arrived to Europe in just one year - 2015... "I still remember the decapitated heads" Marwan, a 13 year old shares his 'childhood' images .. "The war made us grow up" Jihan, a 16 year old trying to shake off the harrowing memories "We are not eating enough. But we manage" a 10 year old Mohammad calling his mom from Belgium, waiting to be with her who is in Germany

    "Borders are no longer means of separation but bridges"
    • Jean-Claude Junckers. President of the EU

    Upsetting tragedy of war refugees all over world

    This heartbreaking documentary is a truly shocking portrayal of the tragedies of Syrian refuge children as they are dragged from their war ridden country thousands of miles across sea and land to find a new life. Shame on the dictators of this war ridden planet whose ego is bigger than their heart.

    Who's Crisis is it?

    This documentary starts where others end. Where the dreams of those who survived war, abuse, travel, drowning... are crushed the the European borders then slowly killed in the turmoil of bureaucracy and lack of resources.

    This documentary makes it clear when someone talks about refugee crisis they should ask first: Who is in this crisis?

    Important outlook on refugees

    My beautiful country where my roots are from. This documentary is touching, hard and most importantly informative. How can people not open the boarders to refugees / humans! Kids! Families! My heart aches it's not their fault
