Episode Synopsis
What is it like to be taken away from your childhood home, to be brought to a strange new country where you are locked away?

She had to leave with her mother and sister after her father got into political trouble with the regime. Sahar explores the complex and often painful role reversals, deceptions and sacrifices that the three of them experienced during those often desperate days.
