It constitutes a theoretical and political commentary on the treatment of refugees within the contemporary European and Greek context. [\u2026] This phenomenon cannot be interpreted as an isolated case; it reflects the systematic criminalization of survival, whereby the need for self-protection is transformed into legal culpability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"1107\">At the same time, she underlined that the film \u201cbrings to light another dimension: the criminalization of acts of solidarity. Individuals who provide assistance and contribute to the survival and protection of refugees also face legal prosecution \u2014 a form of social criminalization of solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1456\">The film \u201cinvites us to reflect on the cultural and legal framework that determines who is labeled a criminal, who is recognized as a victim, and who is acknowledged as a citizen acting in solidarity. It is an invitation to critically examine the social structures, legal practices, and cultural narratives that legitimize violence and injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1702\">The screening served as a starting point for an open discussion on migration, with particular emphasis on its legal, social, and human dimensions. Audience participation brought forward reflections and questions that remain timely and pressing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1823\">We would like to thank everyone who attended and
