If you had to leave your country due to environmental degradation, scorching heat, drought, civil war, invasion, or mass unemployment, what would you do?
If you’re well-to-do, you might apply for a visa in a friendly country and get on a plane to start over there. But what if that opportunity is not available to you? What then?
An unlikely scenario, you may think. We’re British, after all. Land of a temperate climate, political stability, education and opportunity. Yes, but who knows? If the worst happened, what would you do?
That’s the reality facing millions, forced to make dangerous journeys into the unknown. Some seek safe and legal routes, but many can’t. If your survival depends on it, you will do whatever it takes.
If that was you, what would you do?
