Drowning for Freedom: Libya’s Migrant Jails

 

Libya's Migrant Jails is a new three-part documentary from VICE News investigating the horrific, often fatal, journeys that migrants from Africa and the Middle East undertake to travel across the Mediterranean Sea into Europe.

Part One of the documentary features chilling footage filmed by the Libyan coast guard, who must contend with the influx of migrants crossing the Mediterranean sea, and the drowned bodies they leave behind.
