Juliane's story ...

Description:

This is the real-life story of 12-year-old refugee Juliane. At the age of three Juliane was separated from her mother due to the conflicts happening in her home country of Zimbabwe. Told in Juliane's own words, the story tells of her distress and isolation while growing up in an African orphanage, until an incredible chance meeting with her mother reunites the two of them. They apply for political asylum and are finally able to re-establish a life together in their new host country. The 'Seeking Refuge' stories were originally produced as award-winning animations for BBC Learning by Mosaic Films.
