Murmuration

Country: Canada

Runtime: 00:19:20

In 2022, 159,410 men, women and children arrived in Europe via perilous journeys. While their numbers are lower than in 2015, their journey is increasingly deadly. Death and abuse are all too common along the land routes, across deserts and in remote border areas. From Libya and Tunisia, many attempt to cross the Mediterranean, usually to Italy.

Every year, thousands of people perish or disappear at sea without a trace. Murmuration is based on interviews with underage migrants who made their way from Africa to Italy between 2015 and 2021.
