Download From Kabul to Kent

As the UK prepares to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan, this documentary tells the story of a young Afghan whose life has been saved because he made it to Britain.
For the first time, this young man tells BBC Radio 5 live how he nearly died smuggling himself on board a Channel Tunnel train in France, evaded Kent police at the border and fought to become a legal British citizen now living and working in the UK legally.
