Filmed undercover over the course of 10 years and across 12 countries, The Burning: The Untold Story of Africa’s Refugee Crisis brings audiences inside Africa’s refugee crisis like never before. With unprecedented access, the documentary takes audiences across the world’s deadliest migration route — the Mediterranean Sea. A young mother, a brotherhood of orphaned boys and a father desperate to reunite with his family lead viewers over 9,000 miles to reach a stretch of coast where only eight miles of sea separates Africa from Europe.
