La isla de Lampedusa es el punto más meridional de Italia, que desde 1990 se ha convertido en un lugar masivo de desembarco de inmigrantes ilegales procedentes de tierras africanas. En poco más de 20 años, más de 20.000 personas se han ahogado durante la travesía para alcanzar lo que para muchos supone vía de entrada a Europa, y que les debería permitir escapar de la guerra y el hambre.
