Synopsis

 

Azari's life has been split in two, and the halves are as different as lemons and mangoes. Running links the two parts of her life: sometimes when she runs it is because she wants to, because she feels strong and free. But sometimes it is because she has no other choice.

And when Azari and her mother flee for their lives, to Ireland, they are put in a Direct Provision Centre. They must share a room with a stranger, eat food they don't know the name of, and answer intrusive questions from authorities. Azari's life has secrets, and she must tell them so she can stop running and live a life where she can make her own decisions.

Run for Your Life is a sensitive depiction of life for a child asylum seeker in detention; a thoroughly-researched piece of work that is the first in dealing with Ireland's inhumane system.
