Iran's Refugee Rocket Man

Available for over a year

From the migrant camps of Calais to the red carpets of the Cannes Film Festival, we meet the artist who brought Elton John's Rocket Man to life through his animation. Iranian refugee Majid Adin tells the story of his time in Calais' migrant camp "The Jungle" and how he came to make a music video that has now been watched over 11 million times online. Tina Daheley talks to Rahima Gambo, the Nigerian artist tackling the legacy of Boko Haram through her imagery and we hear from Mexican author, Valeria Luiselli who speaks on behalf of migrant children in the USA through her writing and through her work as a court translator. Plus we meet Chyno, the rapper responding to conflict through the beats, rhymes and life of Syrian hip-hop.
