At the frontline of the European migrant crisis is the small Italian island of Lampedusa. This powerful Oscar-nominated documentary focuses on those dangerous sea-crossings made by people desperate to reach the shores of southern Italy.
Told through the eyes of a young boy from a fishing family and a local doctor treating immigrants on the island, Fire at Sea explores the devastating scale of the migrant crisis and the complex relationships between islanders and refugees.
