Save Our Souls

Save Our Souls; Jean-Baptiste Bonnet, 2024, versions: OR,SS,ES, languages: ara, eng

Director: Jean-Baptiste Bonnet

Since 2016, nearly 40,000 people have been rescued by the Ocean Viking, the ambulance ship chartered by SOS Méditerranée. Jean-Baptiste Bonnet spent weeks on board capturing the smallest nooks and crannies of this confined space, and deciphering the political and human issues at stake during this time of suspension at the gates of Europe, between rescue and disembarkation.

Post Film Discussion

Annually, thousands of people risk their lives dangerously crossing the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life in Europe. Many of them die and European countries are ever less likely to accept them. What can and should the international community do about it? Where lie the boundaries between moral and legal duties and responsibilities of states and institutions? In the post film discussion, we will turn our attention to various aspects of this crisis. The discussion will explore the intersection between the expectations set by public opinion and the European public in general, the guarantees provided by Human Rights and Maritime Law, and the role of international organisations.

The Guests of the Discussion:

Sára Činčurová, a journalist who wrote reports from such a ship

Oana Curtiss, UNHCR.

Host:

Peter Ivanič, a journalist and university teacher

The discussion was organised in collaboration with the media initiative Svet medzi riadkami (World between the Lines) and co-financed by SlovakAid.
