SYNOPSIS

Drawing a parallel between the lives of saints and the lives of contemporary migrants, Massimo Pastore’s photography project Santi Migranti proposes a visual challenge to growing anti-migrant sentiment. The walls of many Italian and European cities bear evocative images of patron saints wearing the isothermal blankets used in maritime rescues. The film traces the origins and impact of these images
