Abstract:
Amb ulls de refugiat wants to give visibility to the figure of the refugee, that person who has been forced to flee from his house, expelled by the war. With the purpose of creating a story that illustrates real experiences, we have built a common thread based on the testimony of different war conflicts, the Spanish Civil War, the Balkan War and the current Syrian conflict. All of them have a common element: to be testimony and a displaced from a conflict. A story accompanied and complemented by the vision of experts in the subject and representatives of the government. In this way, a total of eight people are in charge of showing the viewer the profile of a refugee, their way of scape, the procedures to be followed and obstacles to overcome. The viewer will be able to understand how the concept of refugee has evolved and, in turn, the similarities they share from a different perspective in space and time. The report wants to delve into the journey that refugees must make and highlight the conditions which a person needs to accomplish to be considered a refugee. At the same time, we haven’t wanted to leave aside a less emotional issue but also of a great importance for those affected: the legal procedures that must be followed so that a person fleeing an armed conflict can finally be accepted by a third country.
