Fleeing Sudan: Crossing the Channel to the UK | Witness Documentary

Almost two decades after his brother’s death on the refugee trail in Europe, Daba is following in his footsteps as a new conflict simmers in Sudan.
Daba finds himself stuck in "The Jungle", Calais's infamous refugee camp, from which he has tried to cross the English Channel more than 200 times. But Daba is burdened with another sombre mission - to repatriate his brother’s body.
When war breaks out in Sudan, jeopardising his dream to reunite his brother with their family, Daba also realises there is no way back.
The Sea Won’t Scare Us is a documentary film by Camille Toulme and Julien Goudichaud.

You do know that there is literally 2 paramilitary forces fighting rn in the country who killed probably millions in the crossfire and they basically destroyed the country? 💀

I really feel sorry for the Iraq Afghanistan and Libya refugees as they've lived in unimaginable conditions for most or their whole life's if war didn't kill them the government or regime killed them or their families I also feel sorry for the Sudan people my heart 💔💔💔 for that person trying to get his brothers body back I pray that he is successful in reaching his goal for his mother and family

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Why do people want to move someone who has passed away for so long ? Im not trying to be rude just trying to understand. I lost family in ww1 that are burried far far away from me. The people of Belgium are grateful for us.

It is sad but ridiculous and not in the best interests of anyone to leave their homeland. The Sudan is on a huge land mass, with many Countries who could more ghan easily take them in, same continent, no perrilous boat journey, and same climate, but no, someone has coerced these people into leaving their homeland and bypassing many many rich Countries to come to 8taly, Spain, Germany, France etc, Countries so disconnected and alien to these people I am surprised Human Rights have not stepped in to stop such a travesty! It is dangerous! for the people leaving their homes, and dangerous for the Countries they are currently flooding into. For the vast sums of money paid to people who decide such decisions, they have seriously lacked any true intelligence or care for all people concerned, and I have to consider why this "intentional agenda" might be playing out before us all. 🧐✝️🙏

Incredibly sad😢❤..we are all Gods Children…these people are risking their lives and face gruelling times…and face further harsh judgements…that man isn’t even happy being here, he misses his family everything he has means nothing without those closest to his heart

[@stuartyBhoy]

Yeah they are not fleeing Sudan they are fleeing France, a safe country

[@jboydayz]

more like they are illegally invading france

[@slickgoku2466]

I have never understood why these immigrants are supposedly running to escape their war torn, etc, country and yet miss multiple safe countries on the way and so I can't help but think that it has something to do with the UKs benefit system...

Je vous conseille de laisser son corps reposer dans ce cimetière en France. Il n’est pas toujours sage de déplacer un corps et des os au repos avec l’esprit vivant qui y réside. Ils peuvent être endommagés ou manqués de respect.

The sea does not scare them . Being send back sure scares them Insha Allah

[@mariankoniuszko666]

interenstingly refugees from muslim countries prefer to go trough the sea to one of the countries, which are culturally alien to them. Why dont they go for instance to qatar? its much closer ie from Sudan. What's wrong with wealthy muslim gulf countries?

@@mariankoniuszko666. They’re not wanted if they have no skills and gulf countries are strict about deporting illegals. Did you hear about Saudis shooting illegal Eritreans and about a hundred were killed or injured. They don’t muck about.
