For the first time in history, the number of people forced to flee is over 100 million, and it will continue to rise until 2023. Many of them are parents with their children.

In ‘Children of the Labyrinth’, nine of these parents - all stranded in Greece - have written impressive and loving letters to their child. Driven by every parent’s most universal desire - that of a secure future for your child - they had no other option than to expose their little ones to a life-threatening labyrinth of steel walls, violent ‘pushbacks’, human traffickers and ice cold or scorching hot tent camps. The letters offer a deep human insight into what that really feels like for a parent: “It has left deep scratches on our soul.”
