Six-part radio soap opera 'We Are All Refugees' broadcast in the Middle East

A six-part radio soap opera has been broadcast in the Middle East in the past few weeks. Inspired by The Archers it’s called 'We Are All Refugees' and follows the life of a group of Syrian refugees at the Zaatari camp on the border with Syria.

The drama covers themes like forced early marriage, domestic violence, water shortages, unemployment and the tensions of the two communities - Syrian and Jordanian - forced to live side by side.

Today's Mishal Husain spoke to Charlotte Eager, a filmmaker and Newsweek journalist who co-produced the soap, and Oxfam's Andy Boscoe, who has been a camp manager at Zaatari for the past 11 months.

Charlotte Eager told the programme: "This is part of a multimedia project that works on various different levels. One is drama therapy for individual Syrian refugees who are involved in the projects."

"The other very important thing is raising awareness of the Syrian refugee crisis globally."

First broadcast Today programme 2 January 2015.
