Fenia Kotsopoulou – BORDERLINE
Grecia 3:06Synopsis: “Where should we go after the last frontiers ? Where should the birds fly after the last sky ? “. by Mahmoud Darwish.
While the West still struggles to find solutions for the “refugee crisis”, the main route towards peace and hope remains passage through the Mediterranean Sea. In 2015 alone, of the almost one million refugees* and migrants attempting to cross these blue waters desperately fleeing war, violence, terrorism, and persecution : over three and a half thousand have lost their lives. What relies behind these numbers is the human desire and longing for that place “after the last frontiers…after the last sky”; a place that still remains unknown.
