La complessa connessione tra disastri ambientali e migrazioni. Attraverso le storie di Queen, fuggita dalla Nigeria a causa dei danni causati dal petrolio sull’ambiente, di Rubel, scappato dalle inondazioni del Bangladesh, e le voci di Francesco, Luigi e Carlotta, agricoltori e allevatori italiani che si confrontano con il problema della desertificazione e della perdita di biodiversità in Italia, il film documenta come il cambiamento climatico spingerà sempre più persone a lasciare la propria terra. A fare da cornice scientifica sono un glaciologo, un fisico climatologo e un avvocato dei diritti dell’immigrazione. Ancora non esiste un riconoscimento della condizione di rifugiato climatico nel sistema di asilo internazionale, milioni di uomini e donne vivono in un limbo creato dall’uomo e dal suo impatto sull’ambiente.
The Power of Passport
GT 2019, R: Simona Carnino, 37 Min, OmeU
Maria, Petrona, Isabel and Sabina with her husband live in the Mayan-Ixil region of western Guatemala, a land torn by thirty-six-year-long-civil war and now depredated by big corporations. Their dream is to find decent work in the United States. Forced to migrate on the routes managed by coyotes because they are too poor, according to the United States' requirements, to obtain a regular Visa, the protagonists blend their voices with tenacity to denounce the violence suffered by smugglers, narcotraffickers and national police during their journey across Mexico. A tale of Central American migration, woven after the Dia de los muertos, which in a choral and symbolic embrace finally welcomes the characters and tries to heal their wounds.
