SYNOPSIS
On the Greek island of Lesbos, Moria, the largest refugee camp in Europe, has become a filthy slum. When Europe confines itself, the refugees feel totally abandoned. Their anger explodes, but nothing can be done. They are the forgotten people of the COVID 19 crisis.
With his friend Mortaza Behboudi, Father Maurice Joyeux, from the Jesuit Refugee Service, decided to go back there to accompany the people and help them not to sink into despair. He took the time to see the situations, to listen to the stories of the people and quickly perceived the hunger, the thirst, the endless waiting in a climate of fear and insecurity: a place of no rights, this camp had become a real hell.
But his job as a priest is to share his hope in the very heart of despair. So Maurice Joyeux gets closer to the refugees. He follows in their footsteps to help them not only to survive but to live. But in September, the hell is reduced to ashes.
