Moving to Mars
Moving to Mars follows two refugee families from Burma over the course of a year that will change their lives completely.
Forced from their homeland by the repressive military junta, they have lived in a Thai refugee camp for many years.
A resettlement scheme offers them the chance of a new life. However, their new home in the British city of Sheffield, will be different to everything they have ever known.
Director Matt Whitecross (
The Road to Guantanamo) depicts the families' moving and sometimes humorous encounters with 21st century Britain whilst giving us an insight into the experiences and struggles of finding a new place to call home.
