Risking Your Life in the Mediterranean
This documentary tells the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean from an unusual angle, focusing on the volunteers who leave their own lives to rescue and support those crossing the sea. It captures the sacrifice, exhaustion and quiet compassion of people determined to help strangers find safety. The film finds hope and humanity within a story usually told only through tragedy. Moving and understated, it honours ordinary heroism. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
