Migrating Fears - Bridging divides one conversation at a time
This compelling documentary explores the complex, often charged emotions surrounding migration. With a docu-drama approach, the film listens carefully to refugees and asylum seekers confronting new realities, as well as to residents grappling with change and uncertainty.
By interviewing refugees, politicians, and psychologists, Solomon reveals fears on both sides—those fleeing danger and those fearing what they don’t know. Ultimately, this doc is a call for dialogue, empathy, and understanding in a world that urgently needs them.
