Sem Rosto
DOCUMENTÁRIO, 75 MIN, 2019
A foreign perspective seeks to break the invisibility of migrants involved in the greatest humanitarian catastrophe since World War II. Artist Sonia Guggisberg brings unique accounts and images of the contemporary exodus, from the Greek crisis to its peak in the Syrian war, captured on trips to Lampedusa and Greece between 2014 and 2017. The dream of thousands of people in search of a better life transformed into an endless wait inside refugee camps.
