Escape to Life

What would you do if speaking out against injustice put your life in danger?
What would you do if your whole world started falling apart around you?
What would you do if your right to freedom was threatened?
What would you do if you were faced with a life-or-death choice?

Escape to Life, From Syria to Safety is the true story of Mohammed Al Ali, a paramedic in war-torn Syria, who dealt with death every day, but who ultimately chose life.

Fleeing Syria, he kept walking, one foot in front of the other, confronting danger, heartbreak, sorrow and exhaustion at every step of the way. Facing and fighting his fears, holding on and never giving up, he kept telling himself: "It's not over until I find peace and freedom."

This is one man's story, but it is also the story of every one of us who has ever taken a risk and made a brave choice that will inevitably overturn our life, but which might just open up a bright, new future.

Are you faced with making life-changing decisions?
Do you have the strength to choose?

Mohammed's story gives us a unique insight into the human tragedy that has affected millions of Syrians, yet it also offers hope in this ever-changing world, where stability and security can no longer be taken for granted.
