Season 1 • Episode 30
LatestA Syrian family — warm, funny and profoundly ordinary — finds itself facing the impossible choice millions of Syrians faced: stay in a home torn apart by war, or pack up everything and leave. They choose to go. But the road out proves just as punishing as what they left behind, with each episode delivering a new obstacle, a new heartbreak and a new reason to laugh through the tears. From the creator of Lost Village — tragicomedy at its most human.
