Episode 1
When Grace's village is attacked, two of her four children are lost in the chaos. Now she must choose - stay with the girls she has, or abandon them for her missing boys.
Drama by Michelle Lipton, inspired by a true story.
When Grace's Sudanese village is attacked, she scoops up her children - two year old in her arms, nine year old holding her hand and the 10 year old twins running behind - and they flee, running for their lives.
Thankfully safety is within reach, and a truck full of displaced villagers lets her on board. She loads her two daughters on to the truck and turns to lift the boys up. But they aren't there - they're gone. And the truck must go.
Grace must make any parent's most feared decision. A choice that is no choice - to save the children she has with her or abandon them to look for the two who are left behind.
This is the story of Grace - now living in the UK - and her battle to find and bring back her missing children.
