FRONTLINE’s two-hour documentary told the first-person stories of refugees and migrants fleeing war, persecution and hardship — drawing on footage filmed by the people themselves.
Through its harrowing access and intimacy, “Exodus” exposed a shadow-world of human traffickers exploiting the migration crisis for profit and revealed the challenges and choices these refugees and migrants face every day.
“Anyone can become a refugee,” says Hassan in the documentary. He’s a former English teacher who fled his home in Syria, after he says he was beaten by government forces. “It’s not something which you choose. It’s something that happens to you.”
“Exodus” is a Keo Films production for WGBH/FRONTLINE and BBC. The director is James Bluemel. The senior producer is Dan Edge. The executive producer for Keo Films is Will Anderson. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.
