Leave To Remain

A young Muslim escapes from a bloody conflict in his Central Asian homeland and seeks safety in Europe. Filled with the desire to survive, he slowly regains the courage to start a new life. Yet constantly overshadowing him is the violence consuming his country and the mounting pressure to join the Islamic radicals who seek revenge on the western world. When his own story descends into tragedy, only love can save him from despair. This is the account of an ordinary man caught between his longing for personal freedom and the politics of war. The time will come when he can no longer make a distinction between his own needs and those of his people: the consequences will be devastating.
