Fire at Sea offers a breathtakingly-intense look at the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, and the everyday struggles fleeing refugees face. Director Gianfranco Rosi brings us to the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. An island off the coast of Sicily, where hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern refugees have made landfall. Rosi’s shots are striking in their nature. Viewers are exposed to the troubling conditions in which the men, women and children are faced with on a daily basis. With minimal dialogue and no voiceover included, Fire at Sea is carried by its cinematography and the ability to connect to those who are living through these arduous times.
