Dawit s future was bleak in his home country of Eritrea, where he would be forced to join the military.

After a dangerous journey and months spent in a refugee camp, Dawit faces challenges in his new home Amsterdam. Interspersed with facts about Eritrea and its people, this narrative tells a story common to many refugees fleeing the country.
