Stefano Liberti, Andrea Segre: Closed Sea

Our documentary aims to tell what actually happened to African refugees on the Italian ships during these “push back operations” and in Libyan prisons after their deportation. We met our witnesses in Choucha refugee camp, at the border between Libya and Tunisia, and in two reception camps for asylum seekers (C.A.R.A.) in southern Italy. Their interviews constitute the main part of the documentary, along with a session of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, where one of our witnesses sued Italy. The Court has recently condemned Italy for violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Andrea Segre is a film director, who for a number of years has been studying and telling about migrations towards Europe and the contradictions ofthe developed world. He wrote and directed Marghera Canale Nord (2003), which was selected for the 60th Venice Film Festival. He is a co-founder of Zalab. Stefano Liberti works as a journalist at “Il Manifesto” and collaborates with other newspapers, both Italian and international.
