Day 171, Year of #Mygration: Exodus - Our Journey to Europe

In 2015, a three part OU/BBC co-production gave cameras to some of the millions of refugees fleeing to the shores of Europe. Follow their journeys, told through their own eyes, in these award winning documentaries.

Filmed by both refugees themselves and the production team, the result is a terrifyingly intimate yet uniquely epic portrait of the biggest movement of people that Europe has seen since World War Two.

Exodus won Best Documentary at the 2017 BroadCast Awards.
