'This is Doro and he is beautiful.' So begins the extraordinary
story of Doro Goumaneh, who faced an unimaginable series of
adversities on his journey from persecution in The Gambia to refuge
in France. Doro was once a relatively prosperous fisherman, but in
2014, when the country's fishing rights were stolen and secret
police began arresting Gambian fishermen, Doro left home, fleeing
for his life. From Senegal to Libya to Algeria and back to Libya,
Doro fell victim to the horrific cycle of abuse targeted at
refugees. He endured shipwreck, torture and being left for dead in
a mass grave. Miraculously, he survived. In 2019, during one of his
many attempts to reach Europe, Doro was rescued by the boat
Sea-Watch 3 in the Mediterranean, where he met volunteer Brendan
Woodhouse. While waiting out a two-week standoff - floating off the
coast of Sicily, as political leaders accused Sea-Watch, a German
organisation that helps migrants, of facilitating illegal entry to
Europe - a great friendship formed. Told through both Doro's and
Brendan's perspectives, Doro touches on questions of policy and
politics, brutality and bravery, survival and belonging - issues
that confront refugees everywhere. But ultimately it is one man's
incredible story - that of Doro: refugee, hero, champion, survivor
and friend.
