On this International Day of Friendship, I find myself reflecting not on friendships formed in ease, but on those forged in fire, the friendships present amidst the refugees in Egypt. I want the world to know about the kindness I’ve witnessed when filming with these forced migrants and asylum seekers.
It’s not the effort of governments, churches, mosques or international organisations that makes people survive. It’s the kindness of people towards each other, small acts of friendship that sustain lives and restore dignity.
