The Syrian Exodus: Seeking a Safe Haven (2016x3)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 19, 2016

Droves of refugees have descended on the Turkish port city of Izmir since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. Compounded by the emergence of Islamic State militants, this unending flood of refugees risk their lives to cross the Mediterranean Sea. They seek peace and a new life in Europe as terrorist attacks have fanned the flames of anti-refugee sentiment. This documentary offers an unflinching look at the harsh realities faced by Syrian refugees.
