Crossing Continents: Sierre Leone: The Price of Going Home

Young Sierra Leoneans Fatmata, Jamilatu and Alimamy, who risked everything for the sake of a better life in Europe. Along the way, they were imprisoned and enslaved and saw friends die. Eventually, they gave up. Now, they're home again - facing the devastating consequences of what they did to their families before they left, actions that have left them ostracised by their nearest and dearest. Who will help them to survive back home? Can they rebuild their lives, and achieve any reconciliation with their parents? And if they can't, will they be tempted to set off again, to seek their fortunes abroad? Presented by Tim Whewell
