Produced by and aired on RAI3 in 2014 (see the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/andreasegre.blogspot.com\/2014\/09\/come-il-peso-dellacqua.html\">official webpage<\/a>). In line with the tradition of the \u201ctheater of narration,&#8221; the movie features actors who rely on storytelling, maps, and the display of objects to address a multi-faceted subject of socio-political relevance such as contemporary immigration. By weaving these \u201ctales\u201d with the interviews with three immigrant women from Africa and the Middle East as well as original footage about rescues out at sea, Segre crafts an innovative filmic language that renders in clear and incisive ways the complex issues at play in leaving one\u2019s country, traveling by sea, and trying to find a new place. Ultimately,\u00a0<em>Come il peso dell\u2019acqua\u00a0<\/em>is a reminder that border closure policies are bound to fail: like water, migrants will continue to exercise pressure unless the European approach lends an ear to migrants\u2019 direct stories, as this film does.<br \/>\nAfter the screening, the director will entertain questions from the panelists from the previous day\u2019s event and the audience.<br \/>\n<a name=\"Segre\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/media\/montclairedu\/chss\/inserra\/2016-17\/Segre-150x122.png\" alt=\"\" \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/andreasegre.blogspot.com\/\">Andrea Segre<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a film and documentary director active in both cinema and television.
