Alexandria – Seen from the southern side of the Mediterranean the stories of migrants boarding vessels to reach Italy’s coasts seem tragically more human. They reveal aspects of their arrival in our country that one quickly forgets or neglects. Listening to them one learns of the events that obliged them to cling to the remaining hope on the other side of the sea. Stories of families that vanish in the water, but also of children that end up forgotten behind bars close to the port. These are children who soon become adults, who hope that what they are experiencing is just a bad game of hide-and-seek.
