Jamal udin torabi where is he now

As Dubya is belatedly admitting, that costs a lot of money. Winterbottom is fundamentally a humanist filmmaker who wants to humanize the headlines of Mediterranean drownings and asphyxiated Chinese stowaways that jaded Westerners ordinarily flip past to reach the stock tables and sports pages. This rather clunky docudrama follows solemn Enayat and his younger, jokester orphan cousin, Jamal, on their four-month westward journey from Pakistan.

Sent by their family to earn and learn in London, money stashed in the liners of their tattered shoes, preyed upon by smugglers on every stop of their overland passage, they have a kind of quiet, heroic perseverance. The punctured plot, such as it is, is that of a road movie: Get from point A to point B, whatever the cost. Jamal and Enayat do reach the West, but at a profound cost. Both incidents come directly from stories Winterbottom and Grisoni gathered on the road. There was no shortage of material.

The border there is completely open, but the rules of the system are that you have to cross illegally to be a refugee so they have to pay smugglers to get them across these very dangerous mountains passes. Ironically, Jamal's co-star, Enayatullah Jumadin, 22, who the British high commission in Pakistan had warned would "disappear as soon as he arrives in Britain", could not wait to get back to Pakistan and his family. Winterbottom said he hoped the film might lead people to question the negative connotations the word immigration carries rather than focus on Jamal, who only contacted the film company two months after returning to Britain.

It is ludicrous to think that people coming here weakens us. It doesn't, it enriches even at the most boring economic level.

You can't hold them back. Since David Blunkett changed asylum rules after publishing his white paper last year, the outlook is bleak, according to Terry Smith, head of the children's section of the Refugee Council.

Here, we meet the protagonists, Jamal Udin Torabi and Enayatullah, refugee cousins whose uncle arranges their trek to London. On a journey increasingly fraught with danger, Jamal and Enayatullah are forced to shed their native language, clothes, and culture in hopes of establishing a better life.

Though ostensibly a work of fiction, In This World is in many ways a documentary. Winterbottom went to Peshawar and found non-professional actors to play the roles of Jamal and Enayatullah. As the actors had never left Peshawar before, and the film was largely unscripted, their responses to new places like Tehran, Istanbul, and Italy are genuine.

At one point, a member of the Iranian border guard discovers Jamal and Enayatullah and sends them back to Pakistan.
