In This World is a 2002 British docudrama directed by Michael Winterbottom. The film follows two young Afghan refugees, Jamal Udin Torabi and Enayatullah, as they leave a refugee camp in Pakistan for a better life in England. Since their journey is illegal, it is fraught with danger, and they must use back-channels, bribes, and smugglers to achieve their goal.  The film won the Golden Berlin Bear, the BAFTA for Best Film not in the English Language, and the Directors Guild Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in British Film.
