00:00 One more take one?
00:02 Britain is the sixth strongest economy in the world.
00:06 And while there are over 100 million displaced people around the world,
00:10 Britain is home to less than 1% of them.
00:13 In one way, the system is saying,
00:17 "You are human.
00:20 You deserve kindness.
00:22 You are lovable."
00:23 And on the other hand,
00:25 the same system is saying,
00:27 "You came in this country.
00:29 You deserve to go in Rwanda."
00:31 The reason for me to become a filmmaker
00:33 is that I wanted to tell stories.
00:35 Stories like Matar.
00:38 Stories like my story.
00:40 There are so many people like me
00:42 who are itching to tell their own stories.
00:44 So give them the tools.
00:46 Give them the support.
00:47 It'll give you a fresh perspective.
00:49 The excitement of being part of something
00:51 when the Home Office doesn't allow you to do anything,
00:54 being included.
00:56 The story of Matar is healing.
