I'm here

by Gabriele Gravagna, Italy, 2017, 33 min. – Out of Competition, Regional Premiere

The film follows Dine, Magassouba, and Omar, three unaccompanied foreign minors housed at the Elom and Azad centers in Palermo, run by Asante Onlus. Through their stories, *I Am Here* chronicles the difficult and often traumatic journey that thousands of young migrants undertake to save their lives. With a simple and direct style, and supported by UNICEF, the documentary invites teenagers in particular to confront the reality of their peers fleeing extreme conditions.
