Time after time, people make bold decisions to leave their immediate
environment and search for a better life elsewhere. This search could take
them across countries, and in a good number of cases, across continents.
This decision to switch locations is a gamble in itself; the grass is not always greener
on the other side, and dreams evolve into nightmares soon enough. In search of a
better standard of living, people are faced with various social, cultural and political
challenges, from language to immigration status. These get in the way of the
pasture, and more often than not, some throw in the towel. However, some take up
the gauntlet, brave the odds and turn the struggle into a success story. One of such
people is U.K-based Congolese comedian, Eddie Kadi.
