We follow the lives of two refugee families as they encounter people smugglers, border guards and shocking conditions along the way, and find themselves torn apart, not by the war back home, but by a new enemy: 'Fortress Europe'.

This is a culture so amazingly patriarchal, there are few women refugees. Most of them are men.
+Theresa Wright It's easy to say that, but if you don't trust neither your government nor the radicals and the Free Syrian Army is too weak to ever win this conflict, you really do see how few options they actually have.
+Roddy Carnell
The Syrian men who fled may have relatives
in refugee camps (Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey)
Or, they might be people who didn't support
Assad or ISIS. Both are brutal regimes
+eksiarvamus That's the issue, trust. Isn't it in their cult to obey the laws of their land. This is the issue they use their religion as a basis for discord in their country. They should consider themselves Syrian's first and Sunni secondary, if they had this attitude, ISIS would be halted in Syria, but all they are good at are being whinging refugees.
Theresa Wright Now this part I do agree with. But not all of them are like that or at least they don't want to force their rules on Europeans. Many do and many have been sent here to do just that, but it doesn't mean that the innocent people shouldn't be taken in as refugees from a bloody civil war.
eksiarvamus Are these refugees safe in countries like Turkey, Lebanon and other Islamic countries bordering Syria and Iraq? Being an asylum seeker is different from being a refugee.
There is a huge problem in Syria and the "good looking" (according to his own words) husband makes his wife pregnant!?!?!? Where is the responsibility?
Why do they have so many kids? Why? seriously
Because they don't want to abort their children. Like some people do a lot. Their families are really close knit from what I can see and they stand together on the face of adversity.
I know, but having so many kids makes it a lot harder for themselves in times of adversity.
They would greatly benefit from some kind of planned parenthood or sterilization. thanks for keeping the conversation civil
+Benjaminovsky Yeah I know but their country is destroyed so I don't know whether they'll ever get such facilities.
+ماريا من الينبوع That's horrible
They are taught birth control is evil. most religions teach or imply this. Also most religions worldwide put in peoples heads to make more of their kind it is demented belief systems that we have
The country labelled as Israel on the map at 13:13 is actually Lebanon. You would think the guardian would know the difference
lool yup
They are showing us the future
Israeli invasion of lebanon
How do we balance this with the knowledge of the rapes and violence? How do we take care of these kids and make sure European children are safe as well?
Not just European children all children so what only European children matter
next time our governments decide to bomb somebody - all of us Europeans need to go out to protest! Nobody has right to ruin a country for own interests! Only then balance can be reached.
@@sharleneclarke8816 You shut up.
No.. Just see how they behave at borders.. Against police..
Hungary is the only country which has the balls to close their borders.STAY STRONG
that is true
This is really heart breaking. please god help them. i wish them good luck.
That's what they want you to think bleeding hearts go home as john lennon. War is over its all about who pays most welfare
Close the borders
For £300 why don't they buy an airline ticket?
6 yrs later... what has UK, Sweden, Greece, France, and Germany become.
Like the border man said, many are not fleeing war.
These able body men were fleeing towards economical opportunity, not persecution and used EU’s kindness as a weakness to do so.
Fleeng conscription.
So sad. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Saudi Arabia
With all it's wealth be willing to fly the
Syrian refugees back to
Their country no matter where they escaped to.
So they were safe in Turkey and they want to go to another country? That mean they are not refugees anymore.
She's pregnant for a reason. If she gives birth to the child in Europe and legally she can be a citizen and the whole family become the citizens.
+Thebackpacker9 Nope, that is only valid in USA.. In Europe the child is still citizen of the country the parents came from.
+IDONTWANTTOUSEMYNAMEGOOGLE that is NOT TRUE. Only the child born in the U.S. Would be a legal citizen. The mother and other family members would NOT be garanteed status. They'd have to apply separately, and would likely be denied.
Funny that in Europe, EVERYONE is eligible for FREE EVERYTHING, citizen or not.
+tuutts39 "Everyone" but european citizens. Nothing is free in Europe.
+Thebackpacker9 Not TRUE. They might think that but it is not true.
+Thebackpacker9 One of the way Islam is spread is through breeding. The Quran forbid abortion, encourage proliferation and men can have 4 wives in order to breed more.
heartbreaking :(
nah
No matter how poor people are, there is always enough money for cigarettes.
I would say it is culture, mentality, something familar rather than economical
great, go have more kids...so others can raise & take care of them
All refugees are welcome in Botswana, and could be a real support to the economy. They could receive a free piece of land in protected camps, to raise their family and crops, like they did in their homeland. The camps could be built along ancient canals, which would bring irrigation water. Much work needs to be done to make this a possibility, but the refugees are looking for work, and need something to do. Overflow refugees from all countries, who do not have room for these people in the first place, could transfer families to Botswana, and pledge support of some kind to get them started to settle in. Refugees in Germany, Sweden, Norway, UK the United States and so forth can now re-home these people closer to a climate from wence they came.
Don't give money to the Guardian. Don't buy the Guardian.
It seems their only priority in life is to have more children regardless of how hard it may be.
It seems like their original country and culture supported many children, but war changed everything
True but. no fathers, they seem always to be single mothers
More kids = more benefits ! And a free house .!
r.i.p europe, you guys had a good run
Tarik's looks changed a lot from the start toward the end of the clip! I wish all of the refugees and the ones trying to become refugees all the best and safety. I wish you'd do an update about them in the future. Thanks for sharing.
What would you do if you were fleeing a war and got rejected by a peaceful country? Don't judge other peoples and beliefs based upon the actions of a minority, I know Muslims, they aren't generally bad people; We're all human anyways, we must understand each-other!
(Btw, I'm part Irish, and my ancestors were beaten down by haters when they arrived in America; most U.S. citizens have European ancestry anyways, the real citizens are Native Americans. HYPOCRISY!)
+Myley Turnbaugh You have no empathy...
Ben Skelly humans with different beliefs, morals and laws i would not be fleei a war anyway and if i was i would go to a country with the same values
Davros Darlek But the countries with similar values will not be able to take you because they have millions of other refugees. For example turkey(3.5 M) lebanon a country of orginally 4.2 Million lebanese people has (1 M syrians) jordan(660,000) they have no choice but to go to other countries cause the neighbouring ones are oversaturated with refugees and don't have space for them.
And I heard Irish were helped by Muslims during the great famine. Basically we have to help each other regardless their religion and belief.
LOL
I'm happy to let them in, they have been through a lot and deserve to live normal lives just like you and l. They are humans, now is not the time for politics.
slaveoftheowner1
and now is 2018 are u still thinking the same ? in 2015 u was happy to let them in and look what they do just in 3 years they destroy all EU :)
Why did they believe smugglers lies about a free great life on the gravy train of Europe? Everywhere is having hard times and everywhere has homeless people. How did they think 100,000's of people could e helped? All these smugglers and ngo's need to be arrested.
Why don't they go to Tunisia? United Arab Emirates? Saudi Arabia? Morocco? Turkey?
+Roddy Carnell
I am Syrian also . No country in this evil world gives us the visa to enter their country even for just to work . I am living now in Turkey .
Life here is so tough , and living conditions here is really so hard and for the future we are afraid for not be able to renew our passports and here in Turkey it's really hard to get a work permission and even resident permission is not that easy AT ALL . In fact some people and the government here helped so many Syrian people , but you know it's something harder then anyone can imagine
+Roddy Carnell That's exactly what I keep asking myself but I haven't come up with a proper answer yet. Why the fuck these people wanna go to western Europe where the culture is completely different from theirs. They'd be better welcomed in countries that share their religions and cultures.
+Ted Bundy AND Jack The Ripper FAN Because they think they are going to paradise. This reminds me of the Cuban refugee crisis of the past. Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica would ask the US to take refuge Cubans, and they would take only dozens of them while the US would take thousands.
+Roddy Carnell They go to Turkey.
+Ted Bundy AND Jack The Ripper FAN A few years from now, they will try to make Sharia Law part of every European Country
Jesus, thank you for sending the miracle of Love to my brothers in Syria, Haiti, Africa, Chicago, Detroit, Greece, Turkey, Canada, and elsewhere; help them live free and easy.
Starte Christ Jesus? The bearded man in the sky? .... It must be a man, because a woman would never screw-up like this.
This man is a Syrian Kurdish he speaks Kurdish with his family, why does not he go to rich Kurdistan?
+al- adaniyah because they are fighting a war genius, how about when the war is over, then they bring their family to settwhere bombs arent hovering over their brains ever second
Is that supposed to be English?!
Thank you so much for posting. I knew things were bad but not pure horror like this.
Desgarrador, pobre gente, que Dios los ayude.
What would you fortunate people who are unwelcoming the needy do if you were to continuously lose your family members in a warzone, not knowing whether you will live tomorrow, being too scared to step out for a loaf of bread, not being able to send your kids to school. You're all just too comfortable with your lives, so much so that you have become blinded to the state of other human beings. Division is bigger to you than looking out for your fellow humans.
Why not fix your own country? Why not improve where you come from?
Goodbye Europe!
haha I agree with you, first france I don't know which country around UE is next
What a shame for humanity. We have to keep the weakest safe and in decent condition…. there are always people who could help… only some do. I wish all of them peace and a safe home
The individual stories are hearbreaking
It is something what I am wondering about, could anybody explain this to me? Why are there so many small Syrian refugee children Why getting pregnant in war time? The situation in Syria was not getting worse from one time to another. I should avoid to get pregnant when I am not in a safe situation.
A free Kurdistan could be the home and strong hold of these people and the Kurds who have been persecuted for decades.
Cant beleiev the guardian has mistaken Lebanon for Israel in 13:13, need geography class??
Everyone needs to read Submission by
Michel Houellebecq
Should of done your homework before you left home.
Take the kids away from parents... Sick of people being taught to hate. Cut the generations down
Syria must be stabilized by force and them put back in it, do some journalism investigate where they come from in Syria which village which area ? and find out about the state of war there? any resettlement must be done in the middle east, as its 20 times more cost effective than in the UK. Our lower class communities here are fractured beyond recognition with feudal replacement, endorsed by a middle to upper class who write a cheque of charity, they never pay for in their own communities.
Uh it's touchy I hope that he could find a way to meet his family
Thanks for your videos.
LOVE UUUUUUUU
keep on delivering babies its a perfect hobby during war
Please no more videos about refugees campaign... We are dealing with world population growth that is out of control - mexico, middle east, indonesia etc. Maybe a video on how to deal with population growth because there is a correlation between overpopulation, bad education, no healthcare and the status a large family gives to poor people. There is also a correlation to crime, conflict and unemployment. Refugee stories and many become illegal wanderers is a cliché that viewers are increasingly tired of... please what is the answer showing food handouts videos isnt helping anyone.
Frightening
Who's blocking them at the Turkey-Bulgarian border? Is it Turkey blocking them from leaving or Bulgaria blocking them from entering? My money's on Balgaria blocking them.
I mean Balgaria should allow them asylum or pass through their country on their way to Germany.
I wonder where man tariq is ? Did he make to Bulgaria to unite with his family
Que triste y pensar que no tiene para cuando acabar el conflicto en Siria y su gente sigue sufriendo hasta ahora en el 2018 Ojala pronto cambie para bien su situación.
changed my view on refugees..
So what happened to them!?
😔😔😔oh Allah i fell so sad for all this people refugees from syria
It's so hard to see these people going through this. I live in southern California the weather is beautiful but I can't enjoy it .What can I do to help them? when I see the young boys they look like my grandson,
+Janet Harding Save the Children is a reputable charity with a high Charity Navigator rating doing work in Syria and the refugee camps right now.
+tuutts39 Spot on.
+tuutts39 There are no peaceful Muslim countries these days. If this religion is an important part of their lives, it sure as hell isn't doing much to control them. In fact, this Syrian war is between Sunnies and Shias, so we know for a fact that religion of peace = my ass. And all western countries will soon inherit their problem.
+Janet Harding I am sure you're a great person, but the forces to be have ravaged the ME and decades: they first used the north of Africa as slave workers (France and others), then colonized them and the rest of the ME, and imported the savagery of war in WWI and WWII, and after that started splitting the region to their will, and imposing leaders in every country, giving weapons to some (Israel helped by US and Britain, Saudi Arabia by the US, Saddam by the US and so on), and now, because they seeded nothing but war and have not even tried educating them, they get exactly what was coming their way a long time ago: people who have been living disconnected from the world, always pushed one way or another by conflict here and there, are not prepared for the sophisticated world of the 21st century...
What is going on is expected to happen for a long time, it's no surprise to anyone but the gullible, and we in the West have been living in a bubble, choosing to ignore what our countries have been doing all these decades. Well THIS is what they have been doing. THIS is the West's work.
+Roddy Carnell Why is it only muslim countries spotted n covered? can you see what's going on in Honduras, Venezuela, El Salvador etc? Why people & media keep quiet? it's because they're not muslim or because they just need to be forgotten?
It's outrageous that the European Union is unable (or unwilling) to effectively address issues like this.
Its outrageous how morons still don't see problems with flooding people in europe or them trying to solve wars. Why doesn't china do it huh??
fightttttt Perhaps because these people are coming to Europe and not heading for China..? Does your humanity have to be made in China as well? "If the Chinese don't help, let them die"? Is that what you're saying?
McLovin Natural selection isn't a myth its real. If a country is filled with bad/stupid/violent people and such then that country will be so. Took 14 years trying too change Afghanistan, spend 50 years aiding Africa, not much will change, you can only succeed and not worry about issues you cant fix
Derek Bao Are you now equating colonialism, post-colonialism and interventionism to how natural selection works? Because we could use a little 'natural selection' when it comes to people like you.
McLovin Actually it does but im not explaining it lol, think what you want in that mind of yours.
Other economic refuges are conquering you in a strategic war on a run. But people on run of the war it's much different. There are always adventurists. They are moving from point a to point b. And when you, from war, comes. There are to many of the economic refuges people allready there. It's a huge problem. What I can see. Thanks to the leaders and non leaders. If you don't have a leader. Be one. Do you see anyone else? Thats the problem.
No matter the spin, it is an invasion,a barbarian swarm ,poised to fuk up Western Civilization!!
The Guardian=The Soros-ian, The Rotchild-ian, The Neoliberalian, The Liarian. Congratulations to the cameramen, the editors, the dramatic background music and for the professional tools you used for your professional lies.
Send them back in cargo ships as soon as they arrive. Don't waste any resources.
that refugee is making fun of the precious borders and national pride but he wants to true them.
What did people gain by killing gadafi look at the mess and pathetic life of Syria now. God plz make Mankind more humans
looked better off in turkey
Have they never heard of contraception?
That is Forbidden by Islam.
@@eviken1982 no.
Life on this earth is very short, and God watches us and tests us to see how we treat our fellow humans. The fear that there isn't enough for everyone is a poisonous belief. To help these people unconditionally is to be godlike. If you have Love in your heart, there is no Fear. These two things cannot coexist. One of them is a liar.
Cindy Weir: how many muslim males are you willing to take into your home?
+Llyne M...Are you questioning my compassion for these families? Maybe you should question your fear instead.
+ Llyne M..Funny how showing some compassion can bring out fear in some people.
GO BACK TO YOUR GOD TODAY, MORE ROOM FOR REALISTS YOU DOUCHE
Not all humans are like you. Muslims only want to kill for their hateful idiology. Grow up.
When they do get to there new country I’m afraid they expect to much ,in Britain they are moaning about centres , there are not enough jobs houses for our own people .
I'm speechless ...
I don't understand why they breed so much even in precarious conditions???
Bulgaria is a very poor country.
GET THE UN OUT OF THE USA ...
more countries have to help
She said: there have been 2 years since Syria did not have a feast. They forget how to smile.... Brust in tear
The real refugees need help! And they should get the priority assistance, but not the young ones who come to take advantage of welfare system.
We don't need anyone from middle east. We need to stay out of middle east period.
+the guardian nothing but bullshit propaganda, the people of Europe didnt want this nor did they vote on this,, get all refugees out now!!!!!
Your government apparently disagrees.
+Philthe Stalker What about the Saudis and Qataris that allow private donations to NGOS that give money to Daesh ? , to arm these terrorists groups that created so much chaos in Syria , they are also have guilt and responsability in their hands , they should take thousands of refugees into their countries
so sad
I hope Tariq makes it to join his wife & children in Bulgaria its too sad
Sure so they can have a third baby right after his wife give birth.
Poor people
If theres only a way for me to help and to take good care of the kids i wish i could do it. PEOPLE!!!!! they are muslim immigrants but they deserved to be treated as humans too. I understand your opinions but it cant help at all, why dont we just pray and maybe gather our thoughts so we can help them....
“We’re not doing this just for the money.” You aren’t human trafficking for the money? Lie some more.
Just a test
god speed Tarik
😢
I feel for these people they need help its in human wtf is this world coming too may god bless the least fortunate
People wie have to stopped war in syria then After Syrian Can Go in their Country but How?? If they keeps comming in Europe and Other Country the Muslim will take over all World.
I think this is right. They live exactly like in Syria but with no war isn't that de point of be being a refugee? What do they expect a house with food worth millions of dollars?
"may God protect her". Evidently not
😥😥😭😭😭😭😭
The poor innocent little kids!!😢. The things they have seen. The things they have had to live through. The look in their eyes is heartbreaking. BEYOND heartbreaking!!’ Sadly the Africans and Iranians and Iraq n afghan people and Pakistan and etc etc have made the true victims of Syria hated because Syrians are the victims and true asylum seekers and the Africans come with the other false jackassholes and ruined it and made the true victims hated All because of the assholes. The false FALSE victims of war!!!!
02:57 -- Good, we stand here with nothing. But they have their lives. She and her children are alive. But for how long? I am ashamed of America. We have done this. This young mother did not have anything to do with American and British policy to "overthrow seven (7) governments," in the Middle East -- Gen. Wesley Clark, USA. And now she stands with nothing and four children with nothing. CAN YOU BE THIS BRAVE?! This woman can be your sister! This is America? This is what America is to the world now??? Come November there will be a change! This is not American. It never has been. America has been taken off course. But it is righting itself as I type this everyday.
Good luck rebuilding your home and country..

They should have gone to Canada. The syrian refs are having a ball over there.
sorry to say this..I do feel bad for what you are going through..but trust me Islam is threat to mankind..you wil not allow anyone to live peacefully...you should come out of the mindset which is moulded within a book ..
arpishe Billions agree with you !! Americans won't take there B.S. !
These children look so cute and harmless now. Fast forward 20 years and you'll have a bunch of disgruntled potential terrorists who complain about Euro "racists" while living on the dole.
Flame throwers are the best solutions less mess to clean up only charcoal which is handy to use for your barbecues mmmmmmmmmmm
come to canada!!!! : )
No. What about they go back and rebuild their country. They should.
Yes go to us and Canada, not Europe, go wherever u want except Europe
No they shut Go Home where they came from.
