In This World

Peshawar, Pakistan. Jamal, a 15-year-old orphan, grew up in a refugee camp and worked in a factory for low wages. Another of Jamal's cousins, Enayat, helps out at the family electronics store. One day, the two will leave for London. Enayat's father, concerned about his son's future, paid a large sum of money to a smuggler to send Enayat to London, where he had relatives. Jamal also speaks English, so he decides to accompany them. Finally, with their new future and hope in their hearts, they set out on a journey 6,400 kilometers away to a place of exile that brings them close to death...
