our voices
Too often, displaced people are spoken about, rather than spoken to, in the media. We believe that people with lived experience of displacement should be leading the conversation. We put the power of the story back into the hands of those it is about.
Prisoner of Hope (2023) was produced as part of the Refugee Heritage Project, a joint project by Conversation Over Borders and Refugee Radio, platforming the voices of displaced people in our communities.
Every day the news carries stories about asylum seekers crossing the channel or about new immigration policies, but rarely do we hear from the people who are making the journeys themselves. Prisoner of Hope, and the book, Refugee Heritage: An Oral History of Asylum, seek to bring these voices to the fore.
