4.1 Miles Documentary

My question for the day is: What did you do two weekends ago? On the weekend of April 15-16, 2017, what were you doing? Think about it for a second and try to remember....

For me, I was celebrating Easter -which included eating a bunch of super good food cooked by my mother!  :) #spoiled

For others across the globe, Easter weekend was a little bit different...

Over 3,000 migrants were rescued over Easter weekend in the Mediterranean Sea along the Italian Coast.

In the first 3 months of 2017, more than 24,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean Sea from Libya trying to get to Italy according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

According to the International Organization for Migration, they claimed that nearly 800 people have died trying to cross this particular sea in the first 3 months of this year already.
In 2016, more than 5,000 people died at sea.

Below is the link to a documentary called 4.1 Miles.  It's only a 21-minute film and was nominated for a 2017 Academy Award.

It's an excellent short film and I would definitely encourage you to watch it. Just a warning that it is a little emotional...
