It Will Be Chaos (2018): A screening and discussion with the filmmakers

Set against the backdrop of the worst European migrant crisis since WWII, It Will Be Chaos unfolds between Italy and the Balkan corridor. Five years in the making, the film features two refugee stories of human strength while capturing in real time the escalating tension between newcomers and locals. The cinema vérité documentary intertwines the harrowing journey of Aregai, an Eritrean shipwreck survivor fleeing his country’s dictatorship, with the story of Wael, embarking on a life-threatening trip to bring his Syrian wife and four kids to safety in Germany.

Followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and Franco Baldasso (Italian) and Ziad Dalal (MES).
