We are currently in the midst of the largest refugee crisis since the Second World War. Millions of people have been displaced by conflict and poverty - more than 70 million people worldwide, with more than 35,000 people forced to flee their homes every day due to conflict or persecution. For World Refugee Day 2019, Beamafilm honours and celebrates the resilience of refugees from around the world, who are struggling to survive in unbelievably difficult circumstances. We are highlighting the stories of refugees in an effort to raise awareness and inspire action as refugee rights are under threat.
