Crossing the Sahara Desert by foot, spending months to years living in the forests of Morocco, and finally making the dangerous crossing to the Spanish mainland or territories by land or sea, these three distinct immigration stories have one thing in common: their incredible optimism in the face of inconceivable adversity. The dynamic structure jumps between present day observational footage of life in Spain and reconstructing their migration story using animation and archival footage. Through parallel storytelling, the film compares these three inspiring stories of success to the hopes of a group of migrants living in the slums of Tangier, Morocco.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"To Be Afraid of the Sea is Not Possible\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/274786697?h=9260a2f436&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1150\" height=\"647\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JSU Global is celebrating International Education Week with a three day film festival.
