Synopsis: In The Claim, Congolese asylum seeker Serge faces a Kafkaesque UK interview where mistranslation, cultural misunderstandings, and bureaucratic bias warp his story into absurdity. Tim Cowbury’s sharp, darkly comic script exposes how language barriers and official indifference can decide life-or-death cases, blending humor and horror to question the fairness of the asylum process.
