ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this final episode, we dive into the militarisation of our seas and shores – from Sardinia and Sicily via Calais to Cyprus. What does it mean for people on the move, for those communities facing structural abandonment, and societies at large? With some fiery music and insights by local residents from Lampedusa, we dive into how we can resist patriarchal militarism together.

ABOUT EPISODE 2

In this second episode we ask: who and what is allowed to move freely, and what is contained? We talk anti-Black racism in North Africa, European borders, sacrifice zones, and pollution – from Gabes (Tunisia) to the Niger Delta. We grieve for those we lost at sea and at the hands of those protecting capital. And we keep on sailing.
