Closed Sea
In the wake of a controversial 2009 agreement between Italy and Libya, a group of Somali and Eritrean refugees find themselves caught in a harrowing cycle of displacement and state-sanctioned violence. Their journey, marked by perilous sea crossings and the trauma of being forcibly returned to detention centers, exposes the brutal reality of migration policies that prioritize border control over human rights. Through intimate testimonies, the film captures the profound suffering and resilience of those who, despite being treated as political pawns, continue to seek safety and dignity in a world that often turns a blind eye to their plight.
