Libya, no escape from hell
This documentary centers on Libya’s detention centers, where refugees endure dire conditions, waiting for their fate to be decided by militias, Europe, or the UN. Officially under government control, these centers are actually run by militias profiting from migrants. The film examines the detention system, militia control, and the associated trafficking. It criticizes the EU for funding the system yet avoiding responsibility, questioning the need for change and potential solutions. The Libyan civil war has diminished Western influence, revealing EU divisions and enabling non-Western powers to step in. Europe’s flawed policy empowers Libyan Coast Guards to forcibly return migrants to a fragmented Libya, plagued by political factions and militias.
