In the north of Bosnia, the migration route clashes with the European border, imprisoning hundreds of individuals in Velika Kladusa. A young team of independent volunteers passionately commits to helping those returning from the border, often without shoes, injured, and worn out. In desperate conditions, the volunteers, driven by a strong sense of justice but also permeated with anger and powerlessness at the inevitable suffering, seek to provide support to those trapped.
The new single by Le Shegall is here! Now available on all major streaming platforms.

"En rang par deux" is an award-winning film that beautifully portrays the early stages of the King Kong Collective's journey. It delves into the meeting of Afif, hailing from Tunisia, and Aliou, originally from Senegal, who reside in Rome and share an unwavering passion for music. The film gracefully weaves together their individual narratives, showcasing the power of their friendship, the essence of Italy, and, above all, the profound significance of creating music in unison. This remarkable piece of art has garnered widespread acclaim, earning numerous international awards. Video created by MUTA Animazioni

After a decade of grassroots storytelling that began at Rome's Termini station, Termini Tv is committed to creating a documentary titled "Ghorba." This Arabic term expresses the sense of alienation that a person feels when they are far away from their roots, loved ones, and friends. We will strive to convey this word and its meaning through captivating imagery and compelling stories, thanks to our collaboration with the community formed by the association Mama Termini, which organizes a large dinner every Sunday in front of the station.
The production of "Ghorba" will be overseen by editor Xavier Plágaro, originally from Spain but having resided in Rome for a long time and now returning to Madrid. Many of the shots have been captured by Ruben Lagattolla, based in Bologna but with past experience living in Rome.
The soundtrack will be created by a series of talented emerging artists from Rome, particularly of Tunisian origin, discovered through the collaboration with Thameur Jabberi and the Kif Kif bar, located in the Pigneto district, played a key role in discovering these talents. The original music and audio post-production will be handled by WeTune, with composition by Afif Ben Fekih and Mubin Dunen.
Musical Collaboration with Altrove and the Collective Muta Animazioni.
