«Ειδομένη» (Idomeni-2016) Trailer

Synopsis According to official UN figures, more than 500,000 Syrian refugees entered Europe from the islands of Greece in 2015. Of these, nearly 95% had actually arrived in Idomeni, a Greek village located on the border between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The refugees arrived in Idomeni in bad physical and psychological condition and stayed for a few hours to cross the border to the north, anticipating a better future. The shots that follow were taken during distribution of materials to cover the refugees' basic needs - supplies, food and clothes that were collected by volunteers, in hopes of restoring their morale and self-esteem.
