Coming Up
On 17 January 2026, we travelled to the Kakuma–Kalobeyei Refugee Camp in northern Kenya to meet Stella Sabina Sisto, the leading presenter of the local radio station REF FM. As a voice of the people, she is a vital source of communication within the camp.
She guides our host, Celestine Raven, through daily life in Kakuma — introducing her family, sharing her challenges and inspirations, and revealing the hopes she holds for the future.
At the end of February, the episode is in post-production.
This journey marks the first of four episodes exploring some of the largest refugee camps in the world — places shaped by borders, yet filled with human stories that often go unseen. For this first episode, we collaborate with REF FM and Film Aid Kenya. Subsequent episodes will be created in partnership with other local and international organizations.
These are not stories about refugees, but stories with global citizens — individuals shaped by borders, whose humanity reaches far beyond them.
In a world that moves quickly past complexity, these portraits invite us to pause, to truly look, and to see.
It is essential that these voices are brought into the light — not to sensationalize, but to restore dignity, spark curiosity, and foster connection. By sharing their stories with the world, we aim to awaken empathy and remind ourselves of the ties that bind us all across cultures, countries, and circumstances.
This project is an invitation: to listen, to feel, and to recognize ourselves in one another.
The four upcoming episodes:
- Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh – “Home to more than 900,000 Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar in 2017, this vast settlement reveals the realities of long-term displacement and resilience.”
- Za’atari Refugee Camp, Jordan – Housing approximately 80,000 Syrian refugees, Za’atari has evolved into a structured city shaped by life lived between borders.
- Boa Vista, Brazil – In contrast to large camp settlements, Boa Vista represents a different humanitarian approach, where smaller reception centers serve as entry points for Venezuelan refugees seeking safety and stability.
- Nyarugusu / Nduta, Tanzania – African refugees sharing their voices, dreams, and visions for tomorrow.
