We are very happy to announce the movie for the 8th edition of the Global Migration Film Fest: Me, Captain, by Matteo Garonne. A Homeric fairy tale that tells the adventurous journey of two young boys, Seydou and Moussa, who leave Dakar to reach Europe.
Over the years, films have been used to inform, entertain, educate and provoke debate. It is in this spirit that IOM launched The Global Migration Film Festival (GMFF) in 2016.
The Global Migration Film Festival (GMFF) features films and documentaries that capture the promise and challenges of migration, and the unique contributions that migrants make to their new communities. The goal of the festival is to pave the way for greater discussion around one of the greatest phenomenon of our time, and this year we will talk about human rights, interreligious dialogue and migration.
The film screening will be preceded by a panel discussion on Migrations and Interreligious Dialogue.
