ASYLUM is a documentary drama based on the stories of asylum seekers in Wales.
We have seen the boat images, the dead mothers and fathers, the children dying face down in the water.
But what happens when someone makes it to the UK?
Many asylum seekers suffer from severe mental health problems.
Many have contemplated suicide, many live a ghostlike existence. Many are destitute.
Those who have the misfortune of not having their story believed by the Home Office, which is more often than not, rely on miniscule help from charities, and the kindness of strangers.
ERIC NGALLE CHARLES fled Cameroon and spent years as an illegal immigrant in Russia before making it to the UK where he claimed asylum. He is a poet, dramatist and novelist and runs Black Entertainment Wales.
