To part is to die a little,
What you love dies:
You leave a little of yourself
At any time and in any place.
Edmund Haraucourt (1856-1941)
In Your Eyes is a documentary about migrants in Europe by Sandra Alloush, a Syrian refugee, journalist and documentarist, in collaboration with Enrique Tessieri, editor of Migrant Tales, a community blog founded in 2007.
The documentary is funded by the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) as a part of the #makeracismhisotry campaign in collaboration with New Women Connectors and Migrant Tales.
The documentary’s first screening will be in Utrecht, Holland, on 15 October and will be followed by different screening events in Europe.
In Your Eyes not only aims to be a powerful and honest documentary exposing racism in Europe, but how migrants and refugees survive in an ever-hositle continent. All the people in the documentary are true survivors. Europe needs more inclusion, not less.
Sandra Alloush
Sandra is a Syrian refugee who has lived in Strasbourg, France, since 2015. She makes documentaries and news reports about migrants and refugees in Europe and has won international awards for her work. Her journey from Syria to France was marked by danger and uncertainty. “After a very brief wedding, we left Syria in a bullet-proof car,” she said.
Apart from the suffering of refugees and migrants, one of the most difficult matters for Sandra is parting and witnessing how the family fragments to pieces when you become a refugee.
