In the summer of 2013, photographer Daniel Setiawan and researcher James Helfrich interrupted their holiday in Malta, and with the assistance of Integra Foundation, set about filming a documentary on the situation of sub-Saharan asylum seekers trapped on the island. To Be A Refugee provides disturbing insights into the forced migration flows from Africa to Europe, and shows the human faces and voices all too often drowned by the ‘Great Siege syndrome’ that dominates public discourse related to immigration in Malta. “At the end of the day, it’s not about protection, or getting a refugee status, or getting documentation… It’s about leading a normal life, about being a person, with dignity, with family, building a future.” – Goitom Yosief mondepasrond.net/2014/05/10/to-be-a-refugee/
