Each year thousands of refugees arrive in Italy. But once they get here: where do they go?

This report gets to the heart of reception centers, by describing the lives of these men in search of hope.

Pakistan, Gambia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Italy.

Are young men/adults who live day by day waiting a positive answer to their asylum request.

Running away from war, dictatorships and from all contradictions that characterise their countries.

The project's objective is not to dig in the suffering and hardships of their journey that brought them up to here, but it is to simply represent them as human beings in their full dignity. The reportage is a way to give visibility to these people, a way to come out the delicate relationship between the public and the truths that need to get involved, even going beyond the prejudices and mutual distrust.
