After fleeing Saddam Hussein’s regime, Hayder Gafar Azis has been living in a small room in Hull, England, with just enough vouchers to spend on the basic necessities. If he gets permission to stay, he would earn the right to work, study and be part of British society. This is the true-life story of a Kurdish asylum seeker who has spent the last 10 years waiting for the Home Office’s decision. This documentary explores themes of frustration, helplessness, anxiety and stress.
