The small fishing village of Skala Sikamineas in northern Lesvos has a population of just 120 people. In 2015 and 2016, more than 500,000 people, fleeing war and persecution in their home countries, arrived by boat from Turkey in the area around the village in a period of just 15 months.

 

Watch our series of short films and interviews titled "Philoxenia" on YouTube. We created the series after filming trips across Greece, Jordan, Lebanon and Australia. Our film content tells stories of human beings forced to flee persecution and conflict, the global refugee situation, and profile people, local communities and organisations who are rescuing, supporting and empowering refugees with compassionate, humanitarian approaches to their welfare. The series also looks in depth at Australia's controversial offshore processing regime.

It's free to view the films, please subscribe to our channel by clicking on the above link. We hope you  learn more about the issue, attain greater perspective and enjoy what we've produced. We also welcome feedback so please get in touch and message us on any of our social media platforms.
