The United Nations estimate the number of children refugees at about 12-13 million worldwide. 3-4 % of these children have either lost their parents or have to live separated from them. The technical term for these children without parents or relatives is “separated children”. About 100,000 of these children live in Europe, about five to ten thousand in Germany. We Came, We Stayed, We Got Deported tells some of their stories. For two years, the directors filmed their fate and fortune in Germany.
