Acknowledgment:
FICNOVA recognises in the film the effort to show the roots of many current migrations and forced displacements of thousands of people around the world, revealing an insensitive system of privilege and discrimination that governs Western society, trying to control and silence “the problem”. The rebellion against the “forgetting” of terrible facts, to make them visible and to name them, allows us to get closer to each other, hopefully to walk together.
