WELCOME TO EUROPE

DIRECTOR – CELIA HERNÁNDEZ GARCÍA

Description

The agreement between EU and Turkey took effect on March 20th 2016. Since then, thousands of citizens have been blocked on the refugee camps of the Greek islands suffering a limbus of uncertainty. Abdullah and Wassim are two victims of an unfair system which condemns neglected men and women. This is their story, the same of thousands and thousands of people who just want to escape war and violence in their countries.
