Thanks to his powers of persuasion and his knowledge of English, Jamal is allowed to accompany his cousin on his journey to Great Britain. After an initial attempt fails, they eventually manage to cross the border from Pakistan into Iran, hidden on buses and lorries. From Teheran they travel through Kurd country on foot and over the mountains into Turkey. Theirs is an old smugglers' route--once part of the Silk Road, it is now used to smuggle car parts, oil, opium and tobacco to the West. The two cousins arrive in Istanbul, where a whole new world opens up before them.

    Sketches of lives whose monetary value is among the lowest in this world. Genuinely driven, genuinely important - a genuine success.

    An amazing look at two refugees trying to get from Afganistan to London, with all the choas of what lies inbetween. Winterbottom is pushing the boundaries between what constitutes fiction and documentary.
