Series Synopsis
Over the last few years, media has turned public attention to the enormous number of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers entering the UK. Statistics suggest that around 90,000 people try to enter the country every year.

What we hear significantly less about is the plight of the people who seek to come here. Hanar and Her Sisters focuses on the story of Hanar and her husband Ari, a young couple that fled from Kurdistan after Sadam Hussein's purges on the Kurdish people in Iraq in the 1990s.

In Kate Jones-Davies's harrowing film, we discover the horrors of not just what Hanar and Ari went through, but what many people had to endure before leaving their homes, often on perilous journeys to get to the safety of the UK.
