“I just saw these photos and I remembered the camp of Moria that we were in, exactly the same but 50-60 years before. And these women were, as we are, out of society. They obliged them to live far away. And they want us far away or on an island, the camps to be far from the city. I see these queues that did then and now are exactly the same. [...] But that was 70 years ago, and it may be accepted by some. But now it is not acceptable. That is the difference. Today all this is even worse, these queues for food and water. We do not need to talk only about Moria. Moria is an example. But near Schistos or Malakasa [other installations for refugees], people are waiting in line; for two or three hours we waited for the food in the queue. The women had at least one photo, one memory. We, in Samos, where we were, there was a big sign that photos were forbidden. All the photos that come out of there were illegal”.
This video shows the living conditions and dreams of several young Afghan refugees who came to Greece after 2015 and they are living in camps for refugees in the Greek islands, and the living conditions of Greek women political exiles who lived in a camp especially constructed for women in an inhabited island, Trikeri, during the 1940s and 1950s. They all have been obliged to live in confined spaces, out of society. This video was made by Afghan refugees.
