The family of asylum-seekers trapped on Europe’s edge

Across Eastern Europe - from Belarus to the Balkans - people fleeing conflict and poverty are trying to seek asylum in the EU.

They say their next attempt to get from Bosnia into Croatia will be their 40th. BBC correspondent Fergal Keane was with them them as they set out from a makeshift camp.

Filmed and edited by David McIlveen.

Produced by Zeynep Erdim, Orsi Szoboszlay and Paola Lucchesi.
