About Desperate Journeys

Creator and Director Hilary Sanders and Project Manager Chris Hix have written and produced an immersive theatre experience which enables participants to glimpse the desperation which is forcing so many in the 21st Century to flee from their homes to risk an unknown future.

Empathy Action is indebted to them and to those who have undertaken these journeys and allowed their stories to be heard.
