Refugee Heritage
The new book and documentary tell some of the stories behind the headlines and reveal the humanity of the individuals caught up in the asylum process.

This book and accompanying film bring their voices to the fore. The project is a joint initiative between our two grassroots charities, Refugee Radio and Conversation Over Borders. It was made possible by the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund and by a team of volunteers from the community. This book was made possible through the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund and the support of those involved.
