BBC Two announces follow up series to Exodus: Our Journey

Patrick Holland, Channel Editor, BBC Two, today announced that the team behind Exodus: Our Journey to Europe has been commissioned to make a major new series following the developing stories of migration and the response to the migration crisis.
“Exodus was a series of tremendous power, engaging with one of the biggest stories of our age with exceptional filmmaking. I want BBC Two to be the home of documentaries that tackle the complexities of the world we live in and I am delighted that the brilliant team behind Exodus are making this new series for our audience.” Holland commented. Will Anderson, Keo Films explained that in this new series, the award winning team behind the first will continue to tell the stories of the biggest human migration since the Second World War. It will follow up with some of the protagonists from the first series, including 12 year old Isra’a from Syria, Sadiq from Afghanistan and Alaigie from Gambia, as well as introducing new characters. Through their eyes, we will witness the destruction of the Calais jungle, forced deportations, new routes into Europe, and the rise of far right political parties across the continent. Borders may have closed and camps may have been shut down, but people are still coming, and this ongoing migration crisis is profoundly changing the future of Europe.
