IT Il film “Iuventa” del regista italiano Michele Cinque racconta la prima missione di salvataggio in mare da parte dei ragazzi tedeschi della "Jugend Rettet" che, appena ventenni, hanno deciso di non restare inerti davanti alle morti in mare e di agire in prima persona per dare un segnale. Il documentario non solo segue da vicino le tragedie che ogni giorno si ripetono nel Mediterraneo a discapito di innumerevoli vite umane anche per l’assenza di una politica europea attiva di ricerca e salvataggio, ma si pone anche un'altra domanda: cosa succede quando, crescendo, vediamo i nostri sogni scontrarsi con la realtà?

"The tough question for the year, where is this going to?" May I suggest prison - for people trafficking.

Agree. These kids are a bunch of people that are depressed psychos that feel bad with their own lives and have to do this just to get their serotonin levels up... hey.. let's save the world!!!! They do not know the culture, the language and the way of being of the people they "save" and just for this they should be jailed.. because this is clearly AGAINST the law..

It is about saving lifes! Those people need help and they have the right to leave their country and seek asylum. From the universal declaration of human rights, article 14: (1) Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution'. And the European politics are responsible that there are no safe ways for those people to come to Europe - so there are NGOs like 'Jugend Rettet' who take the responsibility and save human lifes. Every life matters and europe just stands there and watches people drowning.

May I ask: Do you have any knowledge of Africa? Do you know the countries? Have you ever worked here? Do you know the culture? Do you know the language? And I am not asking about having been as a volunteer for a month or so.. That is just bollocks for the "save the world" people... I am asking if you have ever SERIOUSLY lived in one of the countries on this continent......? How do you know if a person is running from persecution?? Who assess this? A person in Europe that bases his decision on pictures and tweets on Facebook? Do you know anything about the privileges of multi billion dollar NGO's and associations such as the UN?? Do you know how the immigration laws and asylum laws work on the countries of this continent? Do you know that if you are illegal over here you get JAILED because you are BREAKING the law..? Do you now the perception that Europe is giving to this continent? Do you know what the people of this continent think about Europeans?? Could go on and on.... I am just asking you to stop and think for a second and not get caught by this silly propaganda video the makes these guys look like heroes by adding some tear making music over the images... THINK THINK THINK.... be rationale... And... as you stated: article 14: (1) Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution' This means that you have the RIGHT TO SEEK. The right to seek does NOT mean that you are automatically GRANTED the status.... Having the right and being granted the status are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.........
