Napuli, Nizar and Bruno, Lahpai and Tercha, Dana and Yasmin are on the run. Like them, many millions of other people around the world are forced to leave their homes for a variety of reasons. Many more are joining them every minute. They form a global flow of people of which we have long since become a part: some are fleeing, others are segregating themselves. "Exodus - the long way" describes the global dimension of the refugee and migration issue through the perspectives of the people portrayed from four continents over a period of two years. Filming took place in South Sudan, Kenya, Haiti, Brazil, Algeria, DRC-Congo, Western Sahara, Myanmar-Kachin State, Cuba and Germany.
