Fire at Sea

Italy’s southernmost isle in the Mediterranean Sea, Lampedusa is eight square miles large, has a populace of roughly 400,000...and, over the last generation, has become the entry point for thousands of migrants fleeing Africa and the Middle East for Europe. The critical humanitarian issues posed by this influx of the suffering, and the real tensions between locals and refugees, are brought into unforgettable focus in this remarkable effort. 114 min.
