Living in tents and over-crowded ferry terminals in the port of Athens, refugees wait for the right to continue their journeys and to seek hoped-for refuge.
Filmed at the port of Piraeus, Athens, The Port features interviews with some of the Syrian, Iraqi, Afghani, Yezidi and Kurdish women, men and children stuck there.
The film documents glimpses of endurance, frustration, the humiliation of forced dependency and the ongoing hope of the possibility to be able to re-build lives of dignity, safety and meaning.
Directed by Caoimhe Butterly, The Camp is part of a short film series about the lives of refugees.
Other short films in the series: The Border, The Camp and Refuge.
