about

The family sets off with five members. Even though having high risks, The Mediterranean sea is the selected route for refuging, since it is the fastest way to reach Europa without an entry permit [1]. The deal is made with a shipowner and the journey begins with full of anxiety. The boat is overfilled, because the shipowner takes 35 passengers into the boat – way above the limit of 25 people. (The following is based on a true story). They can’t wear life-vests due to the fact that all of them were thrown into the sea to make space for more people. Being overloaded, at some point, the boat starts to take on water. Everyone on the boat gets soaked through their feet and starts panicking. The boat sinks slowly, screams are tangled. The father, who struggles to be a lifeguard for his children within the chaos, cannot resist the force of water. Two children slip away from the father’s hand and vanish in the open sea.

[1] The Mediterranean is considered one of the busiest routes in the world. No other body of water is monitored so completely. Nevertheless, boats are sinking in the middle, overloaded with people hoping for a better future in Europe (www.planet-wissen.de/geschichte/menschenrechte/fluechtlinge/festung-europa-fluchtwege-100.html, Last access 28.12.17)
