This is heartbreaking to see that thousands leave their homes looking for a better life and have to go through so much....thank you Thomas for the story and to those out there that have to cross the Mediterranean I hope that God protects you. Much love from 🇻🇨
I am one of those people who fled from Africa to Europe and i have much story to tell. in 2008 i started my journey from Somalia to italy . I went through many problems. Now i live in Sweden
I hope it was all worth it brother
@@naalamleyejiwunmi9341 After much pain and struggle I am happy now
Thanks 😊
Glad you made it through your sacrifice to live your blessing.
Can you assist me Sir if you know of any legal ways. Lost my parents now stranded in South Africa
@@cliffordtabaziba7401 where r your extended family? If u want to travel legally study hard at a school it will take u somewhere in life. Don't risk your life by trying to cross the desert or ocean.
It's videos like this that make you realize that at the bottom of it all, we are all humans, and we all deserve to live a better life with love and dignity.
They could that right in their own region/state etc....
Think of the uk as a garage and africa the mansion. Now put the contents of the mansion in the garage. It just won't fit it just becomes cluttered.
I have never watched any documentary and shed tears like this before in my life. I can't wait see a better Africa.
I decided to be a full time RUclipsr because of documentaries made by BBC , telling stories of the unseen, unheard and the unexposed. As an accredited journalist and public relations practitioner, I love this stories.
The youths and teens need love and hope, i left Africa when i was a teen over 13 years ago since then i am yet to come back home, i left because i was hopeless, no encouragement and no love from my parents and family .now after all these years i wish i didn't travel .i miss them alot,i cant imagine i haven't been able to travel back home or met any of my siblings and parents since 13 yrs .our African parents should try more to give the youths hope and love because everything is not about money
Well said bro. Wish you all the best in life
Am somali i have not went to that kind of journey but i have lost sooo many friends and family i would not encourage anyone to go through with that journey bcz it has alot of disadvantages the danger is eminent
Young Africans needs to come back and take back their country
Why? Can you explain, please? European have destroyed their continent, use systematic racism against them. They are humans as all. They can't have a life as all. All nationality have used immigration, why the Africans no? Tell me, please.
Why? Can you explain this?
Nice story, how i wish you could also trace Richard's family back in Ghana. He left home to change home; is the dream being realized, is he in touch with them?
Great Documentary very Moving the human spirit is strong 👍
Watching from Kenya.😢
Also watching in kenya
The Lampedusa part of this documentary is heartbreaking. 😢
I find the whole migrant story heartbreaking but Lampedusa is like the beginning of hope because there are so many decent people there who try so hard on behalf of those who make the perilous journey.
Aww you found Richard❤🇿🇦
Anytime I come across this type of documentary it breaks heart to see people go through this deadly journey all in the name of better living abroad simply because of the the bad system that each African countries have. I must also commend the effort of the people of Lampedusa for their great work for humanity sake, my appreciation also go to Thomas for the catchy piece, I can feel the happiness when he finally got the the missing puzzle from the immigration office and finally heading to Germany get the information first hand from a survival. May God almighty easy our affairs as a continent, forgive those that are dead and have mercy on them. Much love from Nigeria.
Any country that you migrate to, you will have to work hard for your money! It is not easy money no matter where you reside. So, therefore loose the mindset that there is easy money to be made in other countries such as the US and Europe.
So glad you made it safely..❤
I am in Libya for almost 3yrs now, it hasn't been easy but the hope for a better life ,a better future keep me looking forward
Are they kind to you over there? I saw videos that made cry a few years back. Is it not better to go back home my brother? Genuinely asking
This is heart breaking,I pray for everyone crossing over for greener pastures to get there safely
Thanks Mr Thomas ❤
Thomas thank you for a very informative documentary on the struggles if African migrant, and in general migrants all over the world. Be blessed. You are a great journalist
This is an incredibly moving story..a simple document collected by a generous soul ends in a face-to-face meeting between two people. may God bless that man in Germany
What a beautiful professional documentary

Awesome work @Thomas.
Thank you Mr. Thomas for this documentary, let us learned from these stories and always travel through the proper route.
are you serious or too privilege to realised that everyone would love to travel through your so called proper route but hey just can't because if you are an immigrant there is no legal route for you unless you white from Ukraine ?
Unless your life is in danger, you cannot judge.
If only our leaders will make Africa a better place. But it still does not mean one has to go through this deadly journey. May all who lost their lives rest in peace. Very heartbreaking
This is remarkable
Ghanaians are very modest and empathetic people
This makes me heartbroken 💔😢
Wow...Speechless!
The soil is not actually soil, but a holly ash from Orthodox churches brought by either Ethiopian or Eritrean migrants.
Thanks for your well done looking for him🙏🏾
What an incredible story
What a incredible docu, if really fancy the camera work
Thank you.
Incredible journeys, incredible stories...! Good journalism; like returning a lost "identification card". keep up the good work!!
Good work THOMAS
This documentary brought tears to my face. 😢
Thank you Thomas for making this important documentary. It is heartbreaking. God bless Lampedusa
Even though I didn't pass through the dessert I have many family members who did and I am also an immigrant living in UK two years now from Nigeria
It's a long and dangerous journey i will never advice someone to go that route never and I'm sure Africa is way better than Europe believe it or not
Watching from Qatar. This is an eye-opening documentary to whoever intend to travel in the same manner. Thanks to Bro Thomas
good remarkable journalism 👍🏾👍🏾
Great documentary and great job Mr. Thomas. You indeed did well.
Thank you so much, we'll pass on your message to Thomas.
Watching from Italy milano pavia thanks for the video 📹
The dangerous journey!!
Saddening 😢
Europe for Europeans, Africa for Africans , make Africa great again
Very moving, 😢
Great exploration around the Italian Island of Lampedusa. Amazing footage of deadliest migration route in the world. Perilous journey wherein anytime a wallet is lost and some are missing. Tnx4sharing.
Great but heart breaking story. 😢❤
It’s heartwarming to hear from the people who actually care for migrants, that understand they’re just people looking for a better life, and treat them with the humanity they deserve. Watching this such a short time after all those hundreds of people died off the Greek coast, while the world focused on five people who took a dangerous trip underwater…reading today that the EU has given a dictator a billion euro to try to halt migration from Tunisia…listening to people complaining that we need to kick all the migrants here out regardless of the dangers and hopelessness they’ve run from…everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and humanity. I wish people in these developed countries would think about how they’d hope to be treated if they had to leave home suddenly due to war or hunger or just a lack of opportunity. No powerful empire has lasted forever…no country will stay prosperous and democratic forever, regardless of what we hope for. Would you want to be treated like Welela? The men that returned to Ghana? The people stuck at the Mexican border fleeing violence and threats from cartels, who get told their lives aren’t in danger enough to be given refugee status? Or would you hope to be treated like a human, given aid when needed, and allowed to start a new life in a safer place?
I’m so glad Thomas was able to track someone down and hear their story, that people in a government office actually took the time to help find information for him, that a colleague translated that letter. This is one of the best BBC short documentaries I’ve watched, both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Thank you for your perseverance and dedication.
Nice to see you'r face, Thomas
MAY GOD MAKE AFRICA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. SO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE NAME OF GREENER PASTURES😢😢😢
God save Africa
Those running from civil war....I can understand but for others...just bad leadership and economic mismanagement in their homeland that is creating all this chaos and people just wanna leave to help themselves and families left behind.
It's really sad to see our brothers and sisters risking their lives
I hope one day we are going to meet to tell you more about it , now I live in Germany .
If we all have a good life in Africa, no one will risk there life's to take this dangerous journey.....
Stucked in Libya now.I can't wait to successfully cross into Europe again.
Please enlighten us...what do you mean stuck ?
Why not go back to your homeland. What in your head?
may God bless the fisherman that saved those he could as for those moaning strangers makes me know there is still hope for humanity🙏🏾
Every country should have freedom and free of violence
Beautiful documentary. Great job Thomas
It is so sad indeed, but here is it. You cannot blame these poor people who went to the ultimate sacrifice, while you leave those who created the conditions leading to the ultimate sacrifice.
Glad you found a thriving survivor. Sad you did not inform Jacamo, of you findings, he would have been so happy to hear of your success....seems a little ungrateful.
Don’t judge. The fact that he didn’t show it doesn’t mean he didn’t.
When Africa elects leaders that put their citizens first and improve their economy, literacy - they are killed with Western influence (US, France, Belgium). RIP Sankara, Gadaffi, Lumumba
Wow.
Oh my god
Africa leaders are to be blame in this hole situation the same things happen in Turkey pple trying to cross the Aegean sea we on the loosing contact with a brother trying to cross from Turkey to Italy very long and dangerous than Libya to Italy
I am appealing to anyone who can assist. I'm stranded in a foreign country. By grace of God I applied with my papers to a University in Cyprus and they accepted me and offered me 100% tuition scholarship but I can't afford the flight ticket. I can provide all my papers and documents. Thank you
Sorry about your situation. May God help you brother
Why Cyprus? Try South Africa, it’s better
@@YouYou-sm8tf not SA, we are xenophobic and we cook and eat non SA
Nigerian 😂😂😂😂 story
Christ is coming very very soon. Are you ready? Have you repented from your sins and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Please don't be deceived Heaven is real and Hell also is real. You can choose to live with God in heaven if you surrender your heart to Jesus NOW. Don't delay. Jesus loves you so much. John 3:16
who no go no go know woster journey
its jobs the people want..
But gouvernement can’t create so many jobs when afric1n women have so many children. Even rich countries would not be able to provide jobs for everybody.
Stop encouraging unpermitted immigration around the world. We need stronger immigration rules/regulations around the world to ensure societal stability. Thanks 👍🙏🌏🌍🌎🇺🇳🇪🇺🇺🇸✡️✝️
We need God's Kingdom. Matthew 6:10. People don't realize this, that is why they put themselves in grave danger
In Calais some time ago migrants try to stab and rob me :)
I was giving them food :)
1 decent person and 1000 savages :)
BORING
I was sad when i left Africa 13 yrs ago i was a very young man i had no love from my family no hope to support, now my parents miss me alot ,i miss them too .they want me back after 13 yrs because they are old but those days when i needed their support i got none. Sometimes our African parents should be blamed for all these because they always compared us with other kids then we are forced to make this dangerous trips just to proof a point.
