It's one of the most ambitious live television events ever, with SBS taking viewers live to the frontline of the global refugee crisis.
Over three nights from October 2 – 4, Australian audiences will follow events live from conflict hot-spots and frontlines across multiple continents, witnessing the complexity of mass human migration and its ripple effects in 2018.
This group of Australians will experience the confronting reality of the refugee crisis as they visit some of the world's most dangerous places.
