Tuzla, il lago di cenere

L'impianto termoelettrico di Tuzla, in Bosnia, fu crato quasi 60 anni fa, ma da allora nulla è stato fatto per combattere l’inquinamento che ne fuoriesce. Le autorità protestano che si tratta di un’infrastruttura strategica: la Bosnia ha ancora un’elevata dipendenza dal carbone, ma per l'ambiente circostante il prezzo da pagare è troppo elevato.

LIFE JACKETS EPISODE 3

We tried, but it didn't go well. The story of Samir, Lutfi and Omar is one of three economic migrants, of three young Algerians that through different routes have infiltrated themselves among refugees in order to get to Europe, among those who have escaped wars and bombing, from thirst and the dead, to the desperate search for a future that continues to slip out of their hands. They live in an old silos that is just ten meters squared. The roof has holes in it, eroded by the rust that floats in the air and gets everywhere. They escaped difficult living conditions in the South of Algeria: the motive therefore was not war, but social rebirth. Now what the call "home" is a rancid storage tower on the outskirts of town, where they live like squatters without running-water and electricity in the No Border Social Centre of Mytilene. In a compound of a ruined building blocks and old abandoned factories live around two-hundred squatters entrenched in arranged accommodation and in make-shift tents, these migrants and refugees escaped from refugee camps in the north of the island of Egeo.

War

Mwavita, born at time of war

Goma, the principal city of North Kivu province, has been sadly called the “rape capital of the world”: 15 thousand women are raped every year, an average of one every 30 minutes. After the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict that took place in London in 2014, the world has turned its back on rapes victims in Congo. This short documentary wants to bring this endless tragedy back into the spotlight through the stories of the victims and through the testimony of the people who give medical and psychological support to these women.
