The first arrived in 1979; the most recent came to escape the U.S. led bombing campaign, which began on October 7, 2001. "In This World," winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, tells the story of young Jamal (Torabi) and his companion Enayat (Enayatullah) as they make their way on a dangerous journey from Pakistan to London. The boys encounter many obstacles and horrors along the way but stay determined in their quest of a better life than the one they left behind. (Tricia Littrell)
