Looking for Life

2016 was the deadliest year ever for migrants trying to reach Europe. More than 3,000 people died trying to cross from Libya to Italy.

She hears harrowing descriptions of rape and brutality, families separated by gunfire as they try to flee the people-smugglers, and hears the story of a heavily pregnant mother who set out on this incredibly risky journey.
