Political Scientists and sociologists agree that immigration is the biggest problem that the West will face in the twenty-first century. "14 kilometers" is the distance that separates Africa from Europe by the Straits of Gibraltar. In Africa there are millions of people whose sole aim is to enter Europe because hunger does not understand boundaries or barriers. This feature would bring some light to the shadows of immigration. From the hand of Buba Kanou, Violet Sunny and Mukela Kanou, we will know a little bit more about the reality of Africa and, with them, we will take a long and dangerous journey to Europe, through Mali, Niger, Algeria and Morocco.
The movie is 95 minutes long and includes subtitles. There will be a discussion following the movie.
Popcorn & Soda will be served.
