Unable to work until their asylum petitions are approved, two Gambian youth pursue their dreams in corrupt and dank refugee camps in Naples, Italy. By night they converge in Teranga, a rare safe space where migrants can forget their troubles and find community. Mixing professional and cell phone footage, this short documentary conveys the lived experience of asylum seekers in Matteo Silvano’s Italy.
