Documentary centred on the Italian island of Lampedusa where 6,000 Sicilians are joined by hundreds of desperate migrants who arrive on their shores every week during the European migrant crisis. The film focuses on some of the island's native inhabitants, including a 12-year-boy and his family of fishermen, and shows how their daily lives are affected by the arrival of migrants to their shores. The migrants' journey is also chronicled as they risk their lives fleeing Africa and the Middle East in search of a better life in Europe. The ones who are lucky enough to survive recount the stories of their perilous journeys across the Mediterranean and the deadly conflicts they have left behind.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Samuele is 12 years old and lives on an island in the middle of the sea. He goes to school, loves shooting his slingshot and going hunting. He likes land games, even though everything around him speaks of the sea and the men, women and children who try to cross it to get to his island. But his is not an island like the others, its name is Lampedusa and it is the most symbolic border of Europe, crossed by thousands of migrants in the last 20 years in search of freedom.Winner of a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Fire at Sea is a timely documentary that is shaking the world with a shocking and brutally heartfelt insight into modern time s biggest humanitarian crisis.
