A Sicilian family deals with the arrival of a group of immigrants on their island. It is a powerful, often disturbing and strongly emotional film that deals with one of the most urgent issues facing Italy, and Western Europe, the influx of desperately poor immigrants/refugees from Africa. The film is set on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, which in recent years has received so many of these refugees that their "centri di accoglienza" can barely accommodate them. The elderly fisherman Ernesto, who rescues at sea an African mother and her son, represents an older, humane ethos, a Christian ethic in the best sense and the code of seafarers that demands one never abandons anyone lost at sea. This is a special engagement presented by the Delaware Italian-American Education Association and open to the public. Professor Metello Mugnai from West Chester University will offer introductory remarks.
