In this series we get an insight into the ordinary and extraordinary stories from people with a refugee background. Episode four presents two stories about little peoples feet and shoes. Azi from Iran tells us about sharing school shoes with her friend and Arif shares how the gift of a pair of shoes leads him to questions and own his identity.
Two stories about sneakers/joggers/sport shoes or whatever you choose to call them. The first from Amar, a very recently arrived gentleman from Syria who reminds us not to forget the little things. The second from Nargis, who is Afghan born as a refugee in Iran and shares her year of change and the shoes that wore out in the process.
Two stories from Masoumeh. The first highlighting the fact that no matter where you grew up jumping in puddles is irresistable. The second, a memory of the first pair of shoes her husband purchased for her.
The story of a pair of well worn half high mens boots - worn when crossing the border from Iraq to Iran.
