About this ebook
“It's not always children's stories that happen to children.”
When the men come to drive her away, Youmna cuts off Nour's hair. And so begins one girl's journey. By bus, by lorry, into the sound of gun-shots, through adolescence and across borders.
The UK premiere of Estelle Savasta's critically acclaimed French play Traversée, Going Through is a bold play about the realities of child migration, combining English, BSL and Creative Captioning.
