Worldwide, more than 50 million people are fleeing, more than ever before since the Second World War. A team of reporters from several European radio stations has recorded the flight and the stories of four Syrian men and their families. All of them wanted to go to Sweden. But only one made it to the far North. The others remained in Turkey, landed in England or Bavaria. Muhanad (name changed) has documented his flight in full detail.

Excerpt from the jury’s statement
Authentic, close-up, without being sentimental – shows the European dimension of the problem. Enormous journalistic performance.
