Film

The short film North Star Fading is based on the testimonies of three Eritrean women who made the journey from Eritrea to the UK overland through Ethiopia, Sudan, Libya, the Mediterranean, Europe and to the UK. Two of the women were sent back to Eritrea after failed asylum cases and one of the women made the journey again and was successfully granted asylum in the UK on her second attempt.
