For its 50th anniversary, Doctors Without Borders commissioned an abecedary of 26 animated shorts, each illustrating a topic highlighting a given mission accomplished during the decades of the organization’s activity. One of these topics was “Aegean Sea”.
While they dream of reaching the European Union, thousands of refugees are crowded on Greek islands. Facing a reality that is a far cry from what we are used to see in idyllic postcards, three migrants, located on different islands, tell us about the struggles they have been dealing with for months, years even. Isolated in expectation and uncertainty, their anguish intensifies, fueled by violence and rumors.
