Holding their British passports, desperate men in Afghanistan appeal to Boris Johnson to save them from the Taliban.
They risked their lives to make a film begging the UK to fly them home, after meeting in secret in Kabul.
Over 500 British Afghans are believed to be stranded in the country following the abrupt withdrawal of Allied troops in August.
Many were caught up in chaos at Kabul airport as people stampeded to catch the last flights out.
Behind the camera is a Bradford dad-of-three who tonight told of families surviving on scraps of food in abandoned buildings.
They hide as the Taliban go door to door hunting those with British links.
The 30-year-old businessman, whose children are aged seven to 14, said: “It’s starting to get cold. We have no cooking facilities so are living on cheese, bread and biscuits.”
He said he and his wife are forced to send the children out to buy food or risk being killed on sight.
He added: “We are utterly desperate now. Only a handful of people have been offered flights from the Government, but it is not offering to airlift our families.
“I look into the eyes of my children, who ask every day when the Prime Minister will save them.”
He regularly flew to Afghanistan for business and met his wife there.
He was in the process of bringing her to the UK when he became stranded.
In the heartbreaking film, he tells how many of those trapped, including engineers, medics and builders, were holding on to the dim hope of rescue.
He said: “We met to record this message in the hope than someone out there will hear our voice and take action. It looks like the UK has... abandoned us.”
The Foreign Office said: “We will continue to do all we can to secure safe passage to enable British nationals and eligible Afghans to leave the country.”
