Filmmaker Statement

Though it may feel to many that fewer people are fleeing conflict, it’s simply untrue. Numbers keep increasing, and with 150 million climate refugees expected by 2050, this is unlikely to change. Simultaneously, migrant routes have become more dangerous. Our film offers a strange perspective on the notorious Strait of Dover, where more than 40.000 people migrate across each year. It's a burning issue from a journalistic point of view, told through oddly charachter-led fractures from the English Channel as they appear in Dover, where the desperate images of migrants have become a daily occurrence for the local Brits.
