In recent years, in parallel to the securing of borders, the number of people who lose their lives trying to enter Europe has increased. These deaths are often reported when their bodies are washed up on Spanish beaches. In most cases, the protocol followed with these individuals is to register them, in the nearest cemetery, with the identifier of Young, Male, Black Race.

Themes NoViolence: PHYSICAL, RACIAL, MORAL, ECONOMIC

FICNOVA recognises in the film the effort to show the roots of 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.
