A first-hand account of the perilous journey made by a group of Syrian refugees. Fleeing war and persecution; traversing land and sea on an old fishing boat manned by smugglers, the nail-biting trek leads to Europe, where the refugees learn that the hardest part still lies ahead. Each must battle to stay sane and create an identity among the maze of regulations and refugee hostels. Months of uncertainty and waiting and living in one center after another takes a toll on their spirits, as they confront what being a “refugee” means and try to rekindle the greatest thing they have lost—hope. The Crossing takes us along on one of the most dangerous journeys of our time, and shows the lengths to which people go to find safety and forge their own destiny.
Directed By George Kurian
