Gritty look at the immigrant experience...
“Mediterranea” is a drama about the life-or-death struggle of refugees. Best friends Ayiva (Koudous Seihon) and Abas (Alassane Sy) live difficult lives in the West African nation of Burkina Faso and dream of a better future that seems to await them in Europe, as suggested by photos they’ve seen on social media of an immigrant’s life abroad. Making a dangerous journey through Africa and across the Mediterranean Sea, they end up in the Italian city of Rosarno only to face a harsh existence of long working hours, poor living conditions, and animosity toward them and the local immigrant population from the city’s gangs. As they try to carve out success, their individual perspectives cause them to drift apart until a shocking event reunites them in a common struggle and propels them into dramatically different futures.<br /><br />Director Jonas Carpignano illustrates in graphic detail the hazardous journey to Europe, which involves a shipwreck and a trudge across the desert, and their plight in Italy, where they must live in a rat-infested shanty and accept being underpaid and victimized by exploitative employers. In reaction to the hostility of the locals, the illegal African immigrants bond together for support, thus isolating themselves from assimilation. Their  ghettoization furthers their economic disparity and powerlessness, which in turn leads them to embrace racism and reject the local culture. This vicious cycle becomes a prison as escape-proof as one with bars.<br /><br />By focusing on two men of exactly the same background and showing how they follow diverse paths, the movie attempts to take a non-judgmental, objective look at the forces at play when immigrants come to a new land with little money, not knowing the language, and facing grim realities.<br /><br />The film is in French, Italian, and English, with English subtitles. The only bonus feature on the DVD release is the theatrical trailer.
