Extremely moving documentary. I am a legal caseworker for asylum seekers and refugees and these are the experiences I hear about daily. Well done Samira for going back and telling it like it is. I wake up every day knowing the blessing of being born in the West - whatever happens, I'm not living in a war zone.

I never usually comment on things but this documentary affected me so much, not least due to the apparent apathy to this dire situation by wealthier more influential countries. I'm sure there are many people that are doing amazing work but it is clearly not enough...the fact is people...children are dying. We need to do something now before we are judged by our childrens children in years to come for not responding sooner!...rant over! Well done samira for being so courageous and honest.

Samira has created an amazing documentary- not least of which because of its simplicity and honesty, without compromising depth. When she cried, I cried with her. Her pain, her frustrations and deep-rooted respect and love for her home country are plain to see, the emotions are raw and as such it's a captivating viewing. Thank you Samira for sharing this phase in your life with us- we're truly moved.

I have just watched this and it is the most shocking thing i have seen in my life this is a CRIME going on and NOTHING is being done ,Its ok to spend up over 30 million on one person to kick a ball and pay them 200k a week ,spend 100s millions on war planes and ships ,go to other countries for OIL you see on the news about people going to a war crime court for war crimes the UN should go and tell the world why they are letting people die for the sake of it children who are helpless are dieing of lack of food water and first aid young women and children are being raped and if thats not painful enough for them to understand why its happening to them then they have children to watch get blown up in front of them and you wounder why they are so angry you would be as well you hear all the time about human rights yet the people with power sit back and feed them guns shame on you this a crime you all are doing to them, and its people with no power are the ones helping them go and tell them poor helpless children your happy to do nothing for them same as the children all over Ethiopia and Africa just look how long the people in Syria have to put up with out help . Im sorry if you find it hard to understand this but understand this STOP THIS WAR CRIME NOW AND HELP THEM

I don't know what motivated Samira to make this journey (i.e. was she approached by a production company or did she involve them in her plans) but the outcome was worthwhile. The level of ignorance about world events in general is remarkable - particularly since the internet has made the spreading of information readily available - so anything which helps to generate interest in important issues is to be applauded. It was ironic, given Samira's occupation, to hear in the camps (as a throwaway line) that mothers have been known to trade the life-saving food packs they receive to feed their starving children to buy clothes! The distortion of Islam (re. polygamy without responsibility and genital mutilation) are well-known but these abominations should be constantly highlighted. Heartening to learn that Samira is now involving herself in important issues - and please don't get too bogged down in the "modest clothing" issues. In a small way it echoes the views of the cutting women she spoke to who claim that FGM is necessary to make the girls less available to men. Men must take responsibility for their thoughts and their actions and not constantly blame women for "leading them astray".

Thank you to Samira Hashi and to all concerned with the making of this truly incredible documentary.
