Life Jacket
Directed by Faten Al Faraj2021 70m
LIFE JACKET is a powerful award-winning documentary that takes us in a journey with some of the refugees as they share their powerful stories of fleeing the war and persecution with the hope to reach a safer place for themselves and their families. From stories of war and killing to stories of fear while trusting a simple LIFE JACKET to keep them safe while crossing the Aegean Sea to reach the Island of Lesvos risking their lives in the hope to reach a better and safer place not knowing that they will end up in Camp Moria - a place that they call HELL , a place worst than living in a war zone. While the refugees live in a survival mode on the island of Lesvos, trying to cope with the war trauma and the trauma they face daily in Moria Camp , we look at the effective role of education in the healing process and in equipping the refugees, young and old, to a better future that awaits them after reaching their hoped destination and getting their legal status, and in no education the future is not promising neither for the refugees nor for the hosting countries. LIFEJACKET delivers the voices and screams of the refugees as they request their simple human rights; to live in better conditions and to get the education they should.
