VPRO Metropolis

For Lat from Senegal, there is no doubt about it. His promised land is Spain. Lat isn't the only one with the dream of migrating. That is why once in a time special boats make the journey to Europe. This journey costs about 800 euro's. And media shows it can also cost a lot of lives.

vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
