Would you risk everything to be free from war and conflict? Even risk your own life? Refugees do this every day, and Najid and Jawl are no different. The war in Syria is getting worse day-by-day, showing no signs of stopping. With their father missing, the siblings and their mother are forced to make it to Europe on their own. They will encounter smugglers, rough seas and borders; but one question remains: will all of them make it to Europe alive?
