On the set of What Is Buried Must Remain
Exodus documents the harrowing journey of Syrian refugees as they cross the Aegean Sea from Turkey into Greece. Over three thousand refugees attempt this treacherous crossing everyday, seeking asylum in Western Europe. It's a life and death gamble that they are willing to take for a chance at a new life away from their war-torn homeland.
