5	Very moving, heartbreaking at times - but at least it had a happy ending! The combination of animation and vintage footage worked really well. At times the animation really emphasised the fear and horror of those fleeing.
5	Incredibly thought provoking film. The animation was a very successful way of portraying such a shocking story - more powerful than if it was filmed more traditionally.
5	A life affirming film reminding each of us of the privileges we have. An emotional story well-told through animation & actual footage which corroborated the facts.
5	Brilliant animation. Very clever way to tell a shocking story.
5	Oh, the relief when his brother accepted he was gay. Great film & should be shown to a wider audience.

5	A stunning portrayal of immigration from the immigrant's perspective.
5	I can't imagine a more effective way of telling such a personal nightmare of a story. The use of animation - built over genuine 'interview' conversations, interspersed with historical footage, gave sufficient 'distance' to this story of a real refugee, allowing us to empathise deeply, and develop a visceral understanding of the harsh and harrowing realities faced by a loving, close knit Afghan family. There was no 'gloss' . no stars, no award winning acting, no emotive 'this is how you should be feeling' music or soundtrack. This was low key, flat, understated - and, as a result, so much more powerful and profound.

5	Very well done, very realistic and xxx.
5	A very original way of tell a moving story.
5	Great graphical presentation. Explained another view of migration.
5	Short film spoke to me so clearly! Main film must surely help defeat prejudice.
5	Just one family's story. Makes you realise the vast extent of the trauma suffered by refugees.
5	Terrific quality animation - uplifting and full of hope, despite its difficult content.
5	A powerful telling of Amin's story; not distracted by actors playing a role.
5	Powerful and impactful depiction of a refugee’s story portrayed in animation. The complexity and inhumanity was portrayed so deftly and the fear and peril were palpable, a great achievement through an animation.
4	Not sure I understood the short film but it was good looking. Excellent long film, very moving & still fully told through the medium of animation.

4	Very though provoking - to the point.
4	Very moving.
4	Both thought provoking but no solutions offered.
4	That was hard to watch but very moving.
4	We should never forget how lucky we are! As a country our treatment of migrants is disgraceful. Good film.
4	The drama & tragedy was made bearable by the beautifully crafted animation. A moving film all the more so, as it was based on a true story - great filming.
4	Gives very good idea what refugees have to endure. Very different. I enjoyed it.
4	Powerful & moving.
4	Bit long winded for me!
4	Interesting.
4	Didn't expect film to be completely animated. Quite long but enjoyed it.
4	Relentlessly powerful.
4	Strong message.
4	I wasn't expecting the whole film to be animated. It was well done but I would have preferred humans! I think the story could have been told equally well with people. It was an interesting story and very moving. What lives some people have to face.
4	Very hard watch. Very moving. Not sure if I enjoyed it though, or that I would recommend it as entertainment.
4	Fascinating - made more impact by the manner in which it was portrayed.
4	Great short film. Good juxtaposition with main film. Interesting way to film the main story. Wasn't sure it would work but it did! Moving story.

4	Illustrative of modern problems with oppressive nationalities. What folk endure for freedoms which we enjoy & take for granted! Good choice.
4	I didn't relate to the cartoon format though it brought home the plight of refugees by focussing on an individual rather than the mass of people.
4	Very thought provoking and something we all need to see & realise the plight of people less fortunate than ourselves and how evil are the traffickers. I like the way the narrative was told but not very enamoured of the style of animation but perhaps it was fitting for the subject matter.
3	Meant to tug the heart strings - but just seemed to be like another BBC liberal documentary.
3	Didn't realise it was an animation. Felt it would have held a lot more power if it wasn't a cartoon!
3	Rather depressing. Did not really enjoy.
3	I felt it was a bit slow.
