The world is witnessing the highest levels of displacement since the Second World War. But who are the people behind the numbers, and what drives the decision to flee your home?
Refugee Nights is a virtual festival exploring refugees' stories in talks, music, history and food. The series is hosted by Syrian refugee & filmmaker HASSAN AKKAD. Created by the IWM Institute.
