Description:
Relevant
and timeless, Limbo gives to the voice to the Africans fleeing
execution and arriving on the shores of Italy. After risking their
lives to escape injustice and pursue a better life in Europe, several
dozen migrants from West Africa have found themselves trapped in a
web of Italian bureaucracy. Now living in a converted hotel in the
small town of Monteroduni, they face both a legal system unprepared
to accommodate their needs and prejudice from the Italians who
surround them. As Italy pauses the lives of hundreds of thousands of
migrants, some Italians acknowledge their privilege by calling for a
new conception of migration—one that better recognizes both the
migrants' human rights and the history of the West.
