(39 votes, average: 9.36 out of 10)Feature film director Sue Clayton meets an Afghan teenager who has lived happily in the UK but at 18 is brutally deported back to a war zone he scarcely recognises. She gave him a camera to carry on filming. How will he survive? "It's like a jungle, innit.."
Hamedullah has just turned 18. Like many other young asylum seekers in the UK upon his 18th birthday he is arrested in a terrifying and brutal dawn raid. First held without trial, he is then flown out on a secret 'ghost flight' where he is dumped in his native home country, Afghanistan. Taking with him a camcorder, he records his penniless arrival in the war zone he fled as a child, alone and scared; with no friends, family or home.

I went with 3 Afghan youngsters to see this film. They said that the Government NEED to see this film. It gives the lie to to the Immigration Minister's statements about the help and support given to these youngsters on their return. Anyone working with these vulnerable young men must see this film.

LikeA superb film that shows the true story of young man like Hamedullah and other vulnerable young Afghans that are returned back to war zone. UKBA should watch this film very carefully and think the consequence of returning those vulnerable people to one of the most dangerous country in the whole wide world.

LikeThe Home Office would rather you didn't see Hamedullah: The Road Home. They'd rather keep these deportations secret.
Sue Clayton's film sheds light on an appalling practice that's taking place right here, right now in Olympic and Jubilee year.
A perfect 10. Go see it.....

LikeThis is an excellent and very moving film. It is very important as a tool to prevent the courts and UKBA from returning vulnerable young Afghans to dangers and destitution a war torn country and for them to receive continued protection and care in the UK.

LikeYou must see this film if you care about humanity. It shines a single, clear beam of light on an individual story that is almost Biblical in it's representative power. Anyone with a scrap of heart will be haunted by this forever.
