The Refugees of Polar Light
Escaping the Talibans, a civil war or famine, their flight led them all the way to the polar winter. On a remote island in northern Norway, a world diametrically opposed to the one they always knew, Ahmed, Dalia and Abdul wait desperately for political asylum, while learning the Norwegian way of life.
