Development work was done and a trailer made for this proposed film Refuge in Riace, with the kind financial support of Bela Hatvany.

Many governments want to keep migrants out, building walls, criminalising and demonising them, and hoping they will go away, but other ways need to be put forward for dealing with this ongoing human tragedy. We hope REFUGE IN RIACE will show another more humane way.
