Cate Blanchett performs the rhythmic poem ‘What They Took With Them’ alongside fellow actors Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson, Peter Capaldi, Stanley Tucci, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kit Harington, Douglas Booth, Jesse Eisenberg and Neil Gaiman.
The poem was written by Jenifer Toksvig and was inspired by stories and first-hand testimonies from refugees forced to flee their homes and items they took with them.
One of the sources for the poem was Brian Sokol’s photography project, ‘The Most Important Thing,’ made in collaboration with UNHCR. Many of Brian's photos, along with firsthand accounts from the refugees he photographed, are featured in the film.
Released exclusively on Facebook, the film urges people to sign the #WithRefugees petition to help ensure refugees have the basics to build back their lives – an education, somewhere safe to live and the opportunity to work.
Stand #WithRefugees, sign the petition: www.withrefugees.org.

Those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR exists to help them. This is our story.
The High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left over one million refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help. The founders thought their task would only take three years but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced flee their homes. In 1951 we started with 34 employees. By the end of 2013 we had over 8,000 people working in 126 countries.

In October our partners in east Aleppo spoke to 398 Syrians, who told us:
- 82% had damaged property
- 63% knew someone who had died or was injured by explosives
- 55% say they need psychosocial support
Many, though, said they would stay even if there were safe ways out. Aleppo is their home and they are eager for peace to return.

Conflict and persecution caused global forced displacement to escalate sharply in 2015, reaching the highest level ever recorded.
UNHCR’s annual Global Trends Report said 65.3 million people were displaced as of the end of 2015, compared to 59.5 million just 12 months earlier. This is not only a 21st-century high, but also the first time the threshold of 60 million has been crossed.

"The number of people globally displaced by conflict every single day has nearly quadrupled in that time – from almost 11,000 in 2010 to 42,500 last year." - UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres
The global refugee crisis is so great that the UN refugee agency and other agencies are struggling to respond to and meet all the humanitarian needs they face.
There were now more than 60 million refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced persons in the world.
Fifteen new conflicts have broken out or flared up again in the last five years without any of the old ones getting resolved.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), also known as the UN Refugee Agency, is a United Nations agency mandated to protect and support refugees at the request of a government or the UN itself and assists in their voluntary repatriation, local integration or resettlement to a third country. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland and is a member of the United Nations Development Group. The UNHCR has won two Nobel Peace Prizes, once in 1954 and again in 1981.
History
Following the demise of the League of Nations and the formation of the United Nations the international community was acutely aware of the refugee crisis following the end of World War II. In 1947, the International Refugee Organization (IRO) was founded by the United Nations. The IRO was the first international agency to deal comprehensively with all aspects pertaining to refugees' lives. Preceding this was the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, which was established in 1944 to address the millions of people displaced across Europe as a result of World War II.

Those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR exists to help them. This is our story.
The High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left over one million refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help. The founders thought their task would only take three years but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced flee their homes. In 1951 we started with 34 employees.

https://wn.com/The_Un_Refugee_Agency_Our_Story
Those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR exists to help them. This is our story.
The High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left over one million refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help. The founders thought their task would only take three years but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced flee their homes. In 1951 we started with 34 employees. By the end of 2013 we had over 8,000 people working in 126 countries.

In October our partners in east Aleppo spoke to 398 Syrians, who told us:
- 82% had damaged property
- 63% knew someone who had died or was injured by explosives
- 55% say they need psychosocial support
Many, though, said they would stay even if there were safe ways out. Aleppo is their home and they are eager for peace to return.

Conflict and persecution caused global forced displacement to escalate sharply in 2015, reaching the highest level ever recorded.
UNHCR’s annual Global Trends Report said 65.3 million people were displaced as of the end of 2015, compared to 59.5 million just 12 months earlier. This is not only a 21st-century high, but also the first time the threshold of 60 million has been crossed.

"The number of people globally displaced by conflict every single day has nearly quadrupled in that time – from almost 11,000 in 2010 to 42,500 last year." - UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres
The global refugee crisis is so great that the UN refugee agency and other agencies are struggling to respond to and meet all the humanitarian needs they face.
There were now more than 60 million refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced persons in the world.
Fifteen new conflicts have broken out or flared up again in the last five years without any of the old ones getting resolved.

Late Redemption
[During the last moments on the life of this crusader, he is still questioning: "Was I right? Was I wrong?" Memories and thoughts twist his mind. The prisoner is being visited by angels. Or are they demons? Who knows? How can the purest heart judge evil? The Angel of Death stretches his arms and offers a comfortable eternal silence. The Shadow Hunter delivers his body and soul, sure of his Late Redemption.]
You wasted all your chances
To find yourself lost and lonely
Were so foolish
You were selfish
Much too blind to realzie
You messed up your own life...
Eu vou contando os dias
E já, já não tenho medo
Eu lhe peço
Eu imploro
Quando a minha hora chegar
Meu descanso minha paz
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION:]
I go on counting my days
And I'm not afraid anymore
I ask you, I beg you
When my time comes
My rest, my peace
Cante uma canção desconhecida
[TR.: Sing an unknown song]
Posioning with hope
the hearts around you
Plante mais lembranças na sua vida
[TR.: Plant more memories from your life]
Death is calling you
(Now or never!)
Nada além do amor é o que parece
[TR.: Nothing but love is what it seems]
Please the ones you love
before you miss'em
Toda a minha dor na minha prece.
[TR.: All my pain in my pray]
Win my chances back cause
Life is short but it's never late!
Tempo que passou
[TR.: Time that passed]
It's time to find Redemption
Não vai mais voltar
[TR.: Won't come back anymore]
Only love defies the Resurection
Tudo que se foi
[TR.: All that is gone]
Mark my words: God's abandoned this world!
Would I live again?
What's the new religion? Yeah!
And what shall be the bread?
Really I don't give a damn!
Never wanna live again
In this vain emotion
Over for me!
Sing a lullaby now I remember
Tempo que se foi e não se esquece mais
[TR.: Time that's gone won't be forgotten]
Memories are twisting in my mind
Win my chances back
Cause life is short but it's never late
Tempo que passou
[TR.: Time that passed]
It's time to find Redemption
Não vai mais voltar
[TR.: Won't come back anymore]
Only love defies the resurection
Tudo que se foi
[TR.: All that is gone]
Mark my words: God's abandoned this world!
Toda a minha dor
[TR.: All my pain]
My destiny is over
Nunca vai voltar
[TR.: Will never come anymore]
And this hope above your comprehension
Tempo que se foi
[TR.: Time that's gone]
Is the love you've been dreaming so long
Over for me.
Nunca...
[TR.: Never...]
...tudo se acabou.
