- Summary:
-
It is 2011 and you are a Somalian boy escaping war-torn Mogadishu for Australia. To find freedom, you must leave behind everything you've ever known. You want nothing more than to be a journalist in Somalia like your aunt, but the truth can be dangerous. When you and your little sister are left alone, you find yourself facing life-and-death choices at every turn. Can you escape a terrorist organisation and find a safe place to call home? You'll be asked to cross a desert on foot, hide below deck in a leaky boat and put your life in the hands of people smugglers. At every turn, the choice is yours. How far will you go for freedom?
