"THIS JUNGO LIFE" takes us inside the lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan, living on the streets of Morocco
"THIS JUNGO LIFE" takes us inside the lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan, living on the streets of Morocco

"THIS JUNGO LIFE" takes us deep inside the hidden lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, living and sleeping rough on the streets of Morocco; forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict.

Produced in collaboration with the refugees themselves, and filmed entirely using mobile phones, this film offers us, through unique and intimate access, a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the human spirit and innate drive for survival, as they fight for a better life for themselves and the families they left behind.
