@@@@
I'm particularly informed about the numbers in Belgium and Spain, where
percentage of asylum seekers who can access to the status of refugee is
less than 15 %.

On reference with the making of a film about refugees, please note that we
are preparing a production of two Afghan brothers crossing the channel to
UK and are very interested in developing a collaboration with any
organization or individual eager to work on the same field. A screenplay
has already been written down, our team is preparing the production project
and we would like to know how your project is developing. We have also
interesting contacts in both Belgium governmental body and British
non-governmental entities in charge of asylum.

Hope to hear from you soon.
