La Pirogue

We saw the film 'La Pirogue'. It's a story about African illegal immigration. A group of African men leave Senegal to Spain where they believe better lives. The journey crossing the Atlantic by wooden fishing vessel puts their life in danger; engine trouble, storm, hunger, thirst and death... The film focuses on individual background and describes humanity well. This film is dedicated to the 5,000 or more Africans who have died trying to cross to Europe in the last decade. This film is very powerful and amazing. I don't know much about African countries. I sometimes hear news about illegal immigration, but never thought about how their journey is danger, how much desperate they are. I've never imagined their thoughts, feelings and background. This film provided me a good opportunity to know a part of their histories and to think this fact.
