Translated from the Arabic

Hassan Owl is an Iraqi refugee struggling to establish himself as a writer, both in a newly adopted Finland and back home. On receiving a grant to develop a website for his otherwise unpublished work, he instead decides to embark on a series of interviews that will capture the real stories behind Europe's so called 'refugee crisis'. Over the next few years, Owl travels across the continent interviewing 99 individuals whose lives have been 'distrupted' by war, persecution and poverty - from the doctor who abandons her post in a besieged Syrian hospital to become a DJ in Berlin, to the Afghan teenager, who forgets his family waiting desperately for his financial support back home, and falls prey to the poison of radicalisation.
