Wali and Wahab are two brothers studying in the UK having escaped Afghanistan after their mother was brutally murdered by the Taliban. Targeted because she was one of the first female judges in the country who had been trained by the International Bar Association, they too were at risk. Amid the chaos of withdrawal of US troops, a group of lawyers led by Baroness Kennedy, managed to charter a series of evacuation flights to rescue more female judges and their families. This is the story of their escape and a modern day Schindler's List.
The boys talk to the TFTDL crew about never giving up, a Hollywood script, gratitude and Lamborghinis - and their incredible mother Judge Qadria Yasini.
Final boarding call: Athens, Greece
