Henok

At just 16 years old, Henok fled the totalitarian state of Eritrea. He tells how he had no money and no family to help him. We met Henok at The Cardinal Hume Centre in Westminster on a filmmaking workshop. Henok worked with us to film and edit this film. Arriving in London was very stressful, but now Henok tells us he's happy. He has been granted asylum in the UK and is learning English and studying.
1000 LONDONERS
This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.
