=====================
In 2005, the lives of seven 15 year old school girls from Drumchapel High School in Glasgow changed forever when one of them, Agnesa Mursulaj, was removed in a dawn raid carried out by UK immigration authorities.

Agnesa and her family had been settled in Scotland for five years. They were seeking asylum since fleeing their homeland of Kosovo, where their lives were in danger due to their Roma ethnicity. Devastated by her sudden disappearance, Agnesa’s friends began a vigorous campaign against the UK Government, to stop her deportation and put an end to dawn raids involving children.

Their inspirational story has since been the catalyst for two BBC documentaries, a National Theatre of Scotland musical and a BBC drama.

Ten years on The Glasgow Girls are back together to reflect on all the different ways their story has been told.

This clip is from the BBC series The Glasgow Girls' stories; a collection of films re-visiting the incredible story of the Glasgow Girls whose lives changed forever in 2005. Ten years on, they are back together to reflect on all the different ways their story has been told through documentaries, a musical and a television drama.
