In the spring of 2015 the Dhnie family embarked on the perilous journey to Europe. They risked their lives in rubber boats and got caught up in riots at border crossings, they slept rough, ran out of money and regularly asked themselves 'Is it worth it?'

In this programme the family answer that question. Award-winning journalist Manveen Rana, who accompanied the Dhnie's over the many months during which they made their way to Europe, visits them in Germany to re-live key moments of their journey, and to find out what's happened to them since. She plays back to them the recordings she made with them, an emotional and compelling soundtrack which became a powerful and multi award-winning documentary and ongoing podcast series for The World At One. As events are replayed Manveen gathers the family's response to them, eighteen months on.

In this intimate and personal programme, Manveen reveals who has prospered and why some of the family bitterly regret the decision to seek a new life in Europe.
