THIS JUNGO LIFE (2024) - 1h18m - Arabic and English with English subtitles
This Jungo Life takes us deep inside the hidden lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, living and sleeping rough on the streets of Morocco; forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict. Produced in collaboration with the refugees themselves, and filmed entirely using mobile phones, this film offers unique and initmate access, providing a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the human spirit and innate drive for survival, as they fight for a better life for themselves and the families they left behind. Content notes: discussions of state violence towards people on the move, depiction of scars from dog attack
ALARMPHONE (https://alarmphone.org/)
Watch the Med Alarmphone is an autonomous hotline for people in distress at sea who are experiencing violence at the hands of border forces. Alaramphone is a global network of volunteer activists. We pressurise various coastguardsat the borders of Fortress Europe to coordinate rescues and, when needed, to mobilise other rescue vessels. We help families to find their missing loved ones. We coordinate with global networks of activists to support people on the move and denounce the deadly border regime. Our teams operate the hotline 24/7 and collaborate with on-the-ground support. By documenting violent pushbacks and human rights violations by state actors against people on the move, we hold those in power to account for their (in)actions. Alarmphone fights for a world where everyone can move freely across borders. We are grounded in mutual solidarity and work to disrupt and destroy the deadly border regime and its ever-engulfing forms of violence.
