Sea of Silence: Unraveling Mediterranean Tragedy

On April 18, 2015, a Tragedy Unveiled: The Unprecedented Quest to Identify the Lost Souls of the Mediterranean. In the aftermath of the nameless boat sinking off Libya, claiming the lives of around 800 migrants, the Italian government takes a historic step to surface the wreckage. Cristina Cattaneo spearheads the identification mission, piecing together fragments like a hoodie, pants, and a belt to unveil the identity of 'Number 387.' Through bone examinations, 3D reconstructions, and DNA cross-checks, Cristina and her team embark on a relentless journey to name each shipwrecked victim. Meanwhile, in Greece, Pavlos Pavlidis, with 17 years of experience in identifying anonymous migrants' bodies, joins forces with Cristina as a representative of the ICRC for Mediterranean victim identification. In the forthcoming months, their unwavering efforts will strive to answer the haunting questions: Who are they? Who are we?
