Food for thought…

This documentary is a story of an almost ‘irrelevant’ migration. This migration is profoundly different from what we are daily faced with on newspapers: people fleeing from their countries due to issues such as war and violence. Nonetheless, the documentary shows the struggles that Emilia faces daily, ranging from loneliness to missing her family, from the language barrier to her identity. We see the way the she tries to find a way to make her identity coexist in a world that is alien to her.

As always, don’t forget so share this documentary with your friends and family. Let’s unite and #establishties.
