Migration is about refugees and asylum seekers, but it’s about all sorts of other modern-day nomads, too. Throughout history, migration has been a slow, ongoing and overwhelmingly beneficial phenomenon, more infusion than invasion.

It chronicles the improbable, poignant and hopeful trajectories of young migrants and argues that they become remarkable by taking off rather than take off because they are remarkable.
