Through Our Eyes

Synopsis

Through Our Eyes shows what it is like coming to Britain through the eyes of unaccompanied minors. We wanted to change the negative perception about asylum seekers by charting the obstacles we have faced and showing how, despite the difficulties, we have turned a negative experience into a positive one.

Baby rubs her trouble head Baby

Director: Simisolaoluwa Akande

Year: 2025

Baby dons a fluorescent pink wig and an unflinching smile on her socials, selling an airbrushed life in Europe to entice young Nigerian girls. Behind the filtered posts lies a more harrowing truth: Baby is trapped in a network of sex trafficking, surviving by enforcing the very system that once consumed her. Past rituals inflicted on the girls not only keep their bodies imprisoned, but also their minds, believing their silence and subservience dilutes their cursed lives. But, when someone from Baby's past becomes the newest recruit, Baby's carefully constructed world crumbles. Baby is confronted with guilt, complicity, and the crushing weight of unfulfilled dreams.
