Flight of the Refugees
Flight of The Refugees documents the harrowing journey of the Syrian refugees as they cross the Macedonian border from Greece, to Serbia and Croatia, all in hope of reaching Germany. In the summer of 2015, over seven thousand refugees started this journey daily, seeking asylum in Western Europe. We bear witness to six of those days. |
Exodus
Exodus documents the journey of Syrian refugees as they cross the Aegean Sea from Turkey into Greece. In the winter of 2015, over three thousand refugees attempted this treacherous crossing everyday, all in hope of seeking asylum in the European Union. It’s a life and death gamble that they are willing to take, all for a chance at a new life away from their war-torn homeland. |
Children of the Beqaa
Children of Beqaa documents director Elias Matar and his daughter Lyla, traveling to the Beqaa Valley, Lebanon in June of 2016 to work with Salam LADC, a local NGO. Here in the Beqaa, there are over 500,000 Syrian refugees who have been living in a state of limbo for the past 5 years. These refugees are left in the dark; they have no country, nearly no rights, very little education and not enough food. Children of Beqaa gives a voice to the refugees, who just want their stories to be heard. |
