Omar and his brother Hassan, two Somali boys, have spent a long time in the Dadaab refugee camp. Separated from their mother, they are looked after by a friendly stranger. Life in the camp isn't always easy. The hunger is constant, but there's football to look forward to - and now there's a chance Omar will get to go to school. With a heart-wrenching fairytale ending, this incredible true story depicts life in a refugee camp.
