12. -Although he seeks refuge from an earthquake, Paddington would not qualify as
a refugee under the terms of the UN Convention Relating to the Status of
Refugees. Refugee status can only be claimed by those fleeing persecution for
certain specified reasons and natural disasters are not among them.

(Earthquake clip from 5
min until 7 min 15 Sec).

13. -Seeking a new home, his own in Peru being devastated by an earthquake,
Paddington stows away to London. He deliberately avoids the authorities.
-This makes him in formal terms an illegal entrant and as such commits a
criminal offence punishable by up to 6 months in prison. If or when detected
by the authorities it is more likely he would be removed back to Peru. To avoid
that fate he would have to make out a legal basis to stay.

(Migration 8
min until
11 min 20)

14. From the very start of
the film, Paddington's
adventures mirror those
of others who undertake
long and dangerous
trips in search of a
better life. His passage
here also underlines
another point - if
migrants are prepared
to come to the UK
despite the
associated dangers, it
must be a good place to
live.

17. Like many others in his position, Paddington tries to get on with his life. The film only
captures his first days in the United Kingdom, so we never find out how he gets on.
Paddington misses home (55 min until 57 min 25 sec).
His home is hunted. His presence is tracked through video cameras and intelligence
from members of the public. (58 min until 1 hr 5 min and 10 sec).
