From Senegal to Libya to Algeria and back to Libya, Doro fell victim to the horrific cycle of abuse targeted at refugees. He endured shipwrecks, torture and being left for dead in a mass grave. Miraculously, he survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, during one of his many attempts to reach Europe, Doro was rescued by the boat \u003ci\u003eSea-Watch 3\u003c\/i\u003e in the Mediterranean, where he met volunteer Brendan Woodhouse. While waiting out a two-week standoff – floating off the coast of Sicily, as political leaders accused Sea-Watch, a German organisation that helps migrants, of facilitating illegal entry to Europe – a great friendship formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through both Doro’s and Brendan’s perspectives, \u003ci\u003eDoro\u003c\/i\u003e touches on questions of policy and politics, brutality and bravery, survival and belonging – issues that confront refugees everywhere. But ultimately it is one man''s incredible story – that of Doro: refugee, hero, champion, survivor and friend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57588138803582,"sku":"NW9781800182554","price":15.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781800182554.jpg?v=1781970017","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/doro","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
