Exiles: The Wars

Exiles: the Wars is a documentary film about the refugee crisis in various countries affected by conflicts. It was produced by award-winning Italian film maker Barbara Cupisti, produced by Rai Cinema and Clipper Media, and it was awarded the Nastro d’Argento Speciale for “highlighting the strong connection between cinema and journalism when dealing with current dramatic and urgent issues” on February 25, 2016.

The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with Barbara Cupisti, Director, Sebastian Rotella, investigative journalist for ProPublica, and Luca Dall’Oglio, Chief of Mission for the International Organization for Migration (OIM), Washington office.

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:

Thousands and thousands of people are exiled due to wars. 55% of all refugees come from the main countries affected by conflicts: Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and Sudan. Studies maintain that entire areas of the world could be de-populated in the next decade due to the increasing of conflicts.
War refugees, internal displaced persons and asylum seekers represent the best known and most dramatic side of forced departure. The “refugee camp” is the most emblematic and unresolved example of this, since it is often a situation of protracted humanitarian assistance, where programmes for re-settlement and re-introduction in society languish at length.

We are dealing with thousands of people obliged to leave their homes to look for shelter in neighbouring countries. Thousands of people fleeing from conflicts that increasingly involves civilian populations.
The documentary movie “Exiles, the wars” is dedicated to these refugees and to the stories of those who have been forced to flee to make safe theirs lives and theirs families’ ones.

The aim of this documentary is to contribute to a better understanding of the conditions of life for war refugees, and to a greater solidarity and capacity to welcome and accept them on the part of European citizens.
