Jaz Uk's debut studio project Distant Shores tells a story of a young boy who has, along with his family, been exiled from their home country by a war. Despite these hardships, tragedy remains indiscriminate, and he is faced with another loss; that of a loved one. While contemplating these events, he comes to the conclusion that he must forge on and he aims to build something that cannot be so easily taken, even if he himself is not alive to see it come to fruition.
