Experiencing Interruptions?

Scirocco: A Case Against Deportations

EU governments are implementing security-oriented policies to govern migration. Higher walls, more controls, detention, expulsion. Deporting migrants to their country of origin will not tackle nor change people's needs to migrate. Tunisians re-migrate to Italy short after being deported, as the uncertainty of travel is preferred to the certainty of unemployment and poverty.

This animation tells the story of one to show the movement of many.
Deportation is no deterrent to migration.
