KaosPilot Alumni x Rasmus Krath : Who owns the story of migration?

​Who owns the story of migration?

​"Migrants are real people, individuals like you and me, and not just numbers or labels we tend to reduce them to when discussing or having opinions on migration. With this film I wish to put human faces on migration and give migrants a voice."  
- Rasmus Krath

Rasmus Krath is a Danish adventurer making his first international documentary film, about what he believes is one of humanity’s most universal phenomena today: Migration.

​The film bravely and heartbreakingly portrays the five most courageous people he knows: A family from Venezuela – mom, dad and three small kids aged 5, 6 and 7.
 
Together with them, he migrated from South America to North America, crossing the notorious Darién Gap jungle, a vast lawless area between Colombia and Panama, to make a documentary film.
 
Together, they climbed high mountains, crossed raging rivers, slept in the wilderness and walked past dead bodies – migrants who did not make it. They talked, cried, feared for their lives and helped each other through the mud, heat and exhaustion.
 
“It’s for the future of our kids,” the father of the family said.
