Seeking Asylum

Description

How Am I Different? is a documentary series giving a voice to children living in challenging circumstances.

Fourteen-year-old Sara and her mother arrived in the UK from Kosovo a year ago in the back of a lorry. The Medical Foundation, a charity for the victims of torture, is helping them with counselling and support as they apply for refugee status.

Sara is determined to become a civil rights lawyer and has taught herself English by watching television. This programme follows her struggle to get a place in an English school as she and her mother are moved from one temporary accommodation to another.
