Drowning Letters

Streaming video - 2020

Presented by Isabel Coixet, DROWNING LETTERS goes beyond traditional storytelling to reflect on the plight of migrants and Europe’s refugee crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. Thousands of people cross the sea in search of a better life. We follow the letters written, from mothers to sons, as we accompany the Spanish NGO ship Open Arms struggling to save 550 people from shipwreck. We will come to forget that this is a true story, the situation will get worse when the film takes us aboard a Libyan coast guard ship and transports us to one of the most dangerous places in the world.
