A Life on Hold: The story of a teenage refugee



'A Life On Hold' brings alive the issues facing refugees in need of resettlement. In association with Marc Silver and featuring music by K'NAAN, the film is set in a refugee camp in Tunisia, a few kilometres from the border with Libya. Through the story of Omar, a 17 year old boy from Somalia, the film offers a powerful perspective from within the camp of the realities of displacement, the effects of war and the emotional waiting game that thousands of people are forced to play whilst awaiting resettlement to a safe country.
