In a rapidly changing and unstable region, young Egyptians like many others around the Arab world aspire to migrate in order to find economic, cultural or religious stability. Four young Egyptians take a journey on different paths to find the place they can each call home. Whether it is for financial, family, religious, career or personal reasons, they search to find true belonging. For some the answer is immigration and for others the answer is right around them.
