00:02I met Rahaf and Habari in the spring of 2015 while making a documentary about
00:07women in the Syrian refugee camps on the border of Turkey. In my time there I was
00:12moved by all these stories I heard. I formed a special bond with the sisters
00:17and their family.
00:19All people want just freedom. It's a small word, freedom. But we don't get it.
00:31Since then Rahaf and I have stayed in touch through Facebook. She asked me if I could
00:36help her and her sister get to Sweden.
00:38I'm waiting for you here. I thought we would arrive at the same time but I arrived
00:43way before you, you know.
00:45Thank you!
00:53Rahaf's in jail. Rahaf was supposed to arrive about 30, no, an hour ago and she wrote to
01:04me and said I've been arrested by the police.
01:06Please help us. 800 refugees are walking towards Sweden.
01:12So 800 refugees are walking towards Sweden right now as Rahaf and her sister are about to arrive.
01:20This has been going on for almost two weeks since she took the boat to Greece.
01:32So I'm walking into the train station to go and get Rahaf and her sister.
01:50Oh my god! Oh my god! Hi baby!
01:59Hey guys!
02:00Hi!
02:00So we're outside here in Stockholm.
02:05Hi!
02:06So cute!
02:06So cute, so beautiful!
02:07Hi Elia, I want to ask you if I can wear my scarf here.
02:12There is no problem.
02:13I mean, in Sweden, like, you're accepted.
02:16You're welcome.
02:17Yeah, so you can be however you want.
02:32The police in Hungary, they were so difficult and they beat the others. They beat me and hurt the children,
02:43hurt the women.
02:43But when I come to here, I love the life because I see humans, I see the sun, I see
02:51the people, okay, I see all things. It's good.
02:53Okay.
02:55I lost everything.
02:56I lost everything.
02:57We lost all our clothes.
02:58Coming into the first European store ever.
03:04Nice!
03:05How are you?
03:05Nice!
03:06Work it girl!
03:07Work it!
03:08Oh yeah!
03:10How much do we miss walls and miss home and miss house, yes.
03:15It's amazing.
03:17When we see the walls, it's...
03:19Oh, how much I miss my country, Syria.
03:22Yes!
03:30So we're here at immigration and we're figuring out what we're going to say.
03:36I know.
03:37I am confused.
03:38It's really confusing.
03:39I don't think anything because my mind is stopping.
03:51We just got out of immigration and I think that we just kind of adopted Havari here.
03:57Okay.
03:58I feel so happy because I have a new family now.
04:01I love you, mommy.
04:02I love you, honey.
04:03I will miss you so much.
04:05I will miss you so much.
04:06So wonderful.
04:08Okay, give me a hug.
04:14You're going to be safe.
04:15You have a safe place to stay.
04:16You have friends here now.
04:18I'll give you all the contact info.
04:20Okay.
