Little Amal in Britain: giant puppet of Syrian refugee reaches Folkestone

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Little Amal in Britain: giant puppet of Syrian refugee reaches Folkestone” – below is their description.

The giant puppet of a nine-year-old Syrian girl has reached the UK, making her first stop in Folkestone, Kent, after walking thousands of miles across Europe. Choirs sang and children greeted Little Amal on the beach on Tuesday after making the same cross-Channel journey that has been taken so far this year by more than 17,000 people seeking refuge from conflict, hunger and persecution. On the last leg of her journey, Little Amal will visit Canterbury, London, Oxford, Coventry, Birmingham, Sheffield and Barnsley before the extraordinary and complex 14-week travelling street theatre ends in Manchester on 3 November
