Rania Mustafa Ali, 20, filmed her journey from the ruins of Kobane in Syria to Austria. She is cheated by smugglers, teargassed and beaten at the Macedonian border. She risks drowning in the Mediterranean, travelling in a boat meant to hold 15 people but stuffed with over 50.
The film was produced and directed by Anders Somme Hammer. It was edited by Mat Heywood for The Guardian and commissioned and executive produced by Michael Tait.
