“Two Billion Miles” shows the incredible distances that people fleeing from terror and war overcome on their way to Europe – more than two billion miles. The interactive video stories offer the opportunity to realistically understand the experiences of refugees and migrants. The journeys start in Sinjar in Iraq, three cities in Syria, Somalia and Eritrea – true-to-the-original images without commentary. The user assumes the role of the migrants: his personal decisions influence the next steps and the fate of the journey.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
Extremely powerful pictures, rich in facts, authentic – with impressive perspectives.
