These testimonies are part of an installation which features members from Write to Life, who are a Freedom From Torture creative group based in London. Write to Life have worked Tim Cowbury (writer) and Mark Maughan (director) of The Claim.

“I am just my words” is a line from The Claim’s protagonist Serge.

The Claim is a bold, imaginative response to the stories of those seeking refuge in the UK, asking what happens when your life is at stake and all you have to save it are your words. The Claim is touring the UK from November 2017 to January 2018.
