Reflection
Reflection
I framed Migration as a testimony because I wanted the strength of migrants to speak for itself rather than be explained away. So much migration coverage flattens people into numbers, and I wanted to do the opposite — to make it personal and motivational. PLURAL+, with its focus on migration and social inclusion, was exactly the audience I hoped to reach, and the film reaffirmed my belief that storytelling can rehumanize the people our headlines too often reduce to statistics.
