A film telling the story of the life of refugees and what the Church is doing to help them rebuild it.
Every day hundreds of refugees are on the move or endure a seemingly pointless existence in camps. Many have no hope and look into the future with fear. This film was made for the Inter-Church Aid and Refugee Service of the British Council of Churches, and filmed in Germany during the closing months of 1955 to show the situation in that and other countries.
