## Limbo
The Guardian and ScanLAB Projects
Limbo enables viewers to experience what life is like for many asylum seekers
in the UK who are waiting to hear whether they will be permitted to stay in
the country. Placing viewers in the shoes of a newly arrived asylum seeker,
Limbo uses the voices of real asylum seekers to guide the viewer through the
experience – from arriving in an unfamiliar city to the Home Office interview
which will decide their fate.
Narrated by actress Juliet Stevenson and compiled through interviews with 12
asylum seekers, Limbo enables a glimpse into their psychological state. They
are caught between two lives – that of the place they left and the new life
they hope to build.
