couldn't watch this movie in one go, it was too sad..and to think that the sisters were part of the lucky ones who survived the dangerous journey :/

First half was actually pretty good, got a little worse throughout the film, and the ending was quite nice
Decent story, mid production

It was quite interesting to know what refugees go through but other then that in my opinion the film was pretty boeing and the pacing was slow
