Documentary, Discussion, and Reflection

Follow local coast guard officers stationed off the Greek island of Lesbos, where thousands of migrants have braved the Mediterranean to flee conflicts at home. The coast guard finds itself overwhelmed by the task of saving hundreds from drowning at sea. Docks previously lined with restaurants have become makeshift first-response centers. As one migrant’s body is carried out, an onlooker desperately yells, “The world needs to know what’s happening here! We can’t be going through this alone!” This movie contains difficult scenes for some viewers.*

We will review the area’s history and geography to add context to the documentary. A group discussion and an Examen will follow.
