Shipwrecked Migrants: Behind the Current Issues of International Migration, Through Fuocoammare: Beyond Lampedusa by Gianfranco Rosi and Mediterranea by Jonas Carpignano

Abstract
Catherine Wihtol de Wenden estimates that 244 million people are affected by international
migration, or 3.5% of the world’s population. Attracted by promises of employment,
human beings today are reduced to living in dramatic conditions, as we see in these
feature films. This is why, the political scientist denounces the fact that one leaves
«people in situation of modern slavery». As we will see, the two films Mediterranea, from
Jonas Carpignano and Fuocoammare. Beyond Lampedusa, from Gianfranco Rosi come
against the simplistic images conveyed by the media or political speeches that reduce
migrants to numbers and threats.
