Refugiados

2015

Centenas de milhares de refugiados abandonaram seus países em grande escala em 2015, em busca de dignidade e respeito em países da Europa e da Escandinávia. Essa migração, em grande maioria da Síria, do Iraque e Afeganistão, foi considerada o maior êxodo humano após o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, em 1945. Segundo a ONU, mais de 220 mil pessoas perderam suas vidas somente na guerra da Síria, que já dura 5 anos. Mauricio Lima acompanhou a família Majid, da Síria, em sua jornada da Sérbia até a Suécia, e segue na documentação desse projeto em maior escala em 2016.
