Based on a true story.
Having suffered rape and violence in her native Somalia at the hands of the terrorist cult Al-Shabaab, Asha hands over her few remaining dollars to a trafficker in the hope of finding a life for herself and her daughter in Ireland. But after years of failed asylum applications Asha’s troubles seem no closer to a resolution. Threatened with deportation by the Irish government, Asha flees northwards to the UK, in a desperate attempt to avoid being returned to almost certain death. There begins an endless cycle of to-ing and fro-ing between Britain and Ireland, as neither country seems prepared to accept her claim for asylum. Again and again she is returned to Dublin, (ironically under the Dublin agreement) and again and again she flees north to Belfast to begin her application all over again.
