Jackie Saleh has lived through every mother’s worst nightmare. Back in 1986, her world was shattered when her husband abducted her three young daughters from their Cardiff home and took them to Yemen. Her youngest daughter Safia was just a toddler.
Now over three decades on, Safia is finally coming home. Jackie travels to Heathrow to meet the daughter she doesn’t really know. Safia doesn’t speak English and is coming to Cardiff with her husband and four children – four grandchildren Jackie has never met.
