I found this film quite touching. I can't believe it has not come around the pictures as I saw at the Bradford film festival in April this year.
It is about a group of people that are claiming asylum in the UK after they are tortured in their home country. Their documents are lost and one by one they are arrested for illegal entry into the UK. Two are left and are chased by the police. They take refuge in a church during service. Father Michael (Dai Bradley) continues and gives them shelter, as he believes in their story.
Meanwhile, the police are surrounding the church along with reporters. Father Michael asks the people that attend his services to help him to support these asylum seekers.
Time passes, and one of the asylum seekers (Fuman Dar) becomes increasingly restless and anxious to get out and be free. His partner (Mahmoud Nasdar) tries to convince him that everything is going to be okay.
The film comes to a traumatic climax. You'll have to watch it to find out what happens, but I'll tell you this. I was nearly in tears by the end.
