Riot police are shutting down borders, 800 lives are lost in a
single shipwreck, a boy's body washes up on a beach: this is the
European Union in summer 2015. But how did a bloc founded upon the
values of human rights and dignity for all reach this point? And
what was driving millions of desperate people to risk their lives
on the Mediterranean? Charlotte McDonald-Gibson has spent years
reporting on every aspect of Europe's refugee crisis, and Cast Away
offers a vivid glimpse of the personal dilemmas, pressures, choices
and hopes that lie beneath the headlines. We meet Majid, a Nigerian
boy who exchanges the violence of his homeland for Libya, only to
be driven onto a rickety boat during Colonel Gaddafi's crackdown on
migrants. Nart is an idealistic young lawyer who risks imprisonment
and torture in Syria until it is no longer safe for him to stay.
Sina has to leave her new husband behind and take their unborn son
across three continents to try and escape the Eritrean
dictatorship. Mohammed is a teenager who dreams of becoming the
world's best electrician until he is called to serve as a
foot-soldier in the Syrian army. And Hanan watches in horror as the
safe life she built for her four children in Damascus collapses,
and she has to entrust their lives to people smugglers. While the
politicians wrangle over responsibility, and the media talk in
statistics, Cast Away brings to life the human consequences of the
most urgent humanitarian issue of our time.
