Stories of Refuge tells the story of three Syrian refugees who fled the war in Syria and attempted to seek refuge in Munich, Germany.
Each one of them was given a discreet camera and asked to film a day in their life in the refugee camp as well as their favourite spot in the city.
Since the beginning of the Syrian uprising in 2011, Syrian refugees have been fleeing the brutality of the regime in Syria and searching for new destinations, Munich being one of them. Many of these asylum seekers arrive to Munich by land, crossing unofficial borders, through different European countries. Beirut-based Dictaphone Group collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who recently arrived in Munich. They gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich and their favourite spots in the city. Together they produced three videos that were first presented in a shipping container placed on a road in Munich.
