<description>June's episode explores the journeys people take to find refuge, through fiction, investigation and interviews. First, a story by award-winning playwright Hassan Abdulrazzak, following a woman from Syria who is torn between two countries, as well as two lovers. After that, we travel to Calais, to find out what life is like for migrants trying to make it across the border and get to the UK (most refugees, if they make it, access the UK in this way). Finally, we speak to Eiad Zinah, a doctor and refugee whose journey here included great risks, and surprising moments of friendship and care.
