Doreen Lobo / BBC: The Film 'Undocument' - The real lives behind 'shocking' migrant children's stories
The film is split into four segments, with the first telling the story of a pregnant Afghan woman - married without her family's permission - trying to join her husband in the UK. The second focuses on an Iranian boy and his mother, trapped with other migrants in a house in Greece at the mercy of a trafficker meant to be helping them travel north.
"We wanted to humanise the people going through those situations," says Kyla.
"We see news reports about numbers, facts and figures and deaths. It's then hard to see the individual human story, but without it, it's easier to turn a blind eye because you can't relate to it.
"But when you meet people, talk to them and hear their experiences, you find they're not really that dissimilar."
Undocument is released in select cinemas in the UK on Friday 31 January.
