O'Scia, La frontiera

In Lampedusa, in 2008, more than thirty-thousand immigrants arrived on the island.men and women who decide to leave their country to try to improve their life-conditions, escape from wars, hunger or persecutions. The rescue stages, the reception and the detention, seen by the sailors, who save the immigrants from the sea, by the reception center staff, by the people of Lampedusa and the immigrants them-self.

O’Scia reopens the debate of the status of this people: are they shipwrecked or clandestine? And on the dynamics of the landing: which does not really occur, 9 times of 10 this people are found in international waters.
