During 2008-9, I spent 18 months trying to find, then photograph and interview, a child from every country in the world now living in the UK. Children from 185 of the world’s 192 countries (as recognised by the UN at the time) took part in this project. Originally commissioned by the Guardian Weekend Magazine, the project became a Book, A Child from Everywhere, and a series of four mini-films for Channel 4.
