Get away from the target: rescuing migrants from the Libyan coast guard
2022 · 27 min · English
★ Emmy nominee, News & Documentary Emmy Awards (2022)
A packed migrant boat leaves Libya for Europe and a Doctors Without Borders ship tries to escort it to safety while the Libyan coast guard moves to force it back, armed and unwilling to stand down. Shot from the deck in real time, the standoff turns a policy debate about migration into a matter of who reaches shore alive.
