The project
From the desert to the Mediterranean
For more than 15 months, the production company Boxfish accompanied the sea rescue ship ALAN KURDI of the association "Sea-Eye" as a media team during five missions on the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to numerous moving moments at sea, material was also shot in countries such as Niger, Tunisia, Libya, Italy and Malta. We would now like to present this material, which has not yet been published but is very close to our hearts, to the public in the form of the documentary film "Route 4".
Although "Route 4" is framed by a theme, namely the danger that prevails in Libya and emanates from there, it is not the aim to tell a continuous story. Rather, we want to give viewers a glimpse into what they have experienced and seen by focusing on the individual fates of those seeking protection.
We want to draw attention to the problems created by the EU itself. We want to draw attention to the suffering and hardships people face on their journeys, and to the incredible work of the NGOs (in this case Sea-Eye) who are the only ones taking on the task of rescuing people in the Mediterranean.
