Description

Across the world people were presented with what appeared to be a heart-breaking but straightforward story of a father and his motherless daughter struggling to get to Britain. But behind those headlines lay a far more sinister truth. BBC Journalist Sue Mitchell and former soldier Rob Lawrie discover that the little girl appears to have simply vanished. Can they find her in time?

Wow. This is what great investigative journalism looks like. This story is such a roller coaster, and I have so much respect for Rob and Sue for sticking with it and helping Goli and little Bru. The podcast was very well produced & hosted, and also raised many important questions about the refugee crisis in Europe.
I listened to the podcast thoroughly, based on that it was a good gripping podcast. I have a few concerns about the intentions of the BBC with this podcast, sure the guy made up a few details to help his daughter, did those details change the situation they were in when Rob met them? No, he made a decision to try to provide a better life for a child based on the current situation she was in. The BBC journalist just irked me, I mean if you knew a journalist was interested in your story, regardless of what you were hiding if anything, would you not be a bit worried, maybe that is why he was evasive to her. I enjoyed the podcast, the story, the people, I hope the Father is not affected by the story and he can bring up his Child and provide a better life for her.
A good podcast, starting from that solid foundation of a genuninely gripping real-life story, with a lot of twists and turns. Parts of it are especially suspenseful, as Sue and Rob try to find the missing girl and reunite her with her mother. Thoughtful and compassionate, and with a good consideration of the wider implications for refugees and their host countries. Recommended.
