8 Borders, 8 Days: Panel DiscussionJoin single mother Sham on the turbulent journey from Lebanon to Germany, as she flees the Syrian civil war and risks everything to bring her two kids to safety.
With no answer to her application for resettlement, and every other path to safety closed off, a smuggler’s raft to Europe was the only way out for this single mother from Syria and her kids. 8 Borders, 8 Days is their story; the intimate details of why a mother is willing to risk her children’s lives for a better future and an immersive experience of their eight-day journey to safety.
