The series will see six individuals - Dave, Bushra, Chloe, Nathan, Mathilda and Jess - all of whom have a variety of opinions on immigration and refugees, being sent to Mogadishu, Somalia and Raqqa, Syria.
While in those countries, they will experience first-hand the life-threatening danger that so many are currently fleeing, by using real migrant routes through Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
