How it feels

The film looks at immigration from a different angle. It focuses on the lives of migrants in a gray area between the tragedy of their arrival and the hope for a new life. Instead of showing landings or detention centers, it follows people in a suspended limbo.

What happens

Noi, i neri è un film documentario del 2017 diretto da Maurizio Fantoni Minnella. Il film mostra l’immigrazione da un’angolazione singolare, ossia non attraverso le immagini degli sbarchi, dei luoghi di detenzione temporanea, ma cogliendo le vite dei migranti in una zona grigia, una sorta di limbo sospeso tra la tragedia dell’arrivo e l’illusione e la speranza di una vita nuova.
