With the recent Refugee Crisis sweeping the world, several questions have been raised. What is the purpose of taking refugees? How will countries provide for them? Why should we care about situations that are thousands of miles away? These are the questions addressed in Vanessa Redgrave’s Sea Sorrow. Redgrave made an appearance at her showing with her son and Lord Alfred Dubs. Redgrave and Dubs prefaced the film screening by stating that Europe is in trouble, “if one life is saved from this film, it will be a success” commented Dubs. The film addresses an incredibly relevant topic that will provoke several emotions from the viewer. The Calais Camp, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the world are all challenged in this filmed which begs for an answer to the difficult refugee dilemma.
