Centuries-old Italian villages were becoming ghost towns. Refugees were fleeing conflict and seeking new homes. The needs of each have come together in Camini, a 12th-century town whose population has dwindled to about 280 people-a quarter of what it once was. In hope of breathing new life into deserted neighborhoods, Camini has welcomed more than 80 refugees and immigrants from Africa and the Middle East.

Just a few miles away, refugees are landing on the coastline in droves. As of August 2016, more than 115,000 people had successfully made the harrowing journey across the Mediterranean to Italy. In 2014, a young Senegalese man named Assan Baldé crossed the most deadly route, from Libya, and was sent to Camini’s budding refugee program. There he found a second home and a second family with Cosmano Fonte.
Fonte and Baldé, along with several other immigrants and natives of Camini, are restoring abandoned houses in order to provide new homes for arriving refugees. Their friendship is emblematic of the village’s reception to the immigrants. Refugees and locals live as neighbors and friends and have shaped a community of people who support one another like family regardless of race or religion. The town’s refugee program, Eurocoop, has brought the refugees together with the people who have lived in Camini their entire lives, offering courses ranging from Italian language to pastamaking. For Fonte, the program is the town’s hope: “Thanks to this emergency that has reached Camini, little by little, things in the village are changing.”
For more about the New Europe, including interviews with refugees and immigrants, read the story from the October issue of National Geographic Magazine.

This video isn't a persuation to bring in as many refugees as possible.. it's only shedding light into one particular situation where a village was crumbling and through the help of those in need are working to bring it back. It also focuses in one family who brought in a total stranger and made him feel welcome, it's a beautiful short video about that. Regardless, of what you think of the refugees this video was beautiful and doesn't deserve the downvotes it's getting.

@onigbajamo 8 лет назад

Assan isn't a refugee though. Just an illegal immigrant.

@mmmodafoca 8 лет назад

Onigbajamo call him whatever you want.. he left his home country because he was having a hard time living there.. you'd do the same, if there ever was a reason to get your ass off from that computer screen.

@onigbajamo 8 лет назад

Dumb Bitch, seeing as I'm originally from his country's neighbour I did leave my country. The difference is that I left legally. I didn't invent some false story to get into the West.

@DianneWilderASMR 8 лет назад

let me get this straight: there were no jobs in Camini, but all of the sudden, the 'refugees' came and jobs are abundant? it doesn't make sense. This documentary is so biased! makes me sick

@Jaquass 8 лет назад

What jobs are that?

@GruntsAreWin 8 лет назад

At least in Germany the "refugees" are almost completely unemployable. I don't understand why it would be any different in Italy.

@beccadixon4408 8 лет назад

The youth move away as the jobs in the village are not desirable to them, as the world advances they want to move to the urban areas, and the bigger cities, and live a different type of life. The refugees, however, are more willing to do the village, rural style jobs, such as construction. It's not a case of lack of jobs, its a lack of jobs they want.

@DianneWilderASMR 8 лет назад

you have a point Becca, the trouble is refugees are there not because they are willing/ready to do the village life, but because that's where they are housed by the government until their status is clarified. I'm sure most of them don't have all the paperwork in order yet. But once they get that, they will move to the city. Village death is common throughout Europe and not only. I used to live in China and it was similar. So why the need to lie here? to make immigrants more sympathetic to the rest of us? The problem with this documentary is the fact that it's pure propaganda. It reminds me the communist propaganda, showing happy workers building the socialism under a blazing sun. The reality was quite different back then and so it is today.

@DianneWilderASMR 8 лет назад

***** Oh, is it? Sorry, if you can't see how biased and silly this documentary is and how it only showcases one point of view to get one reaction, you're very naive or biased yourself. This is not about immigrants working or being integrated. They show one case and extrapolate to an entire community. They say IN THE TITLE the immigrants are saving a village, which is not the case really. To put this in the title is an attempt to manipulate, a clear mark of propaganda. Who's intellectually lazy here? Are you trying to teach me what manipulation is, because you're a supporter of the current immigration policies? I try to look at this from a scientific perspective and I see all the ingredients of manipulation in this particular piece. You have no clue if I support immigration or not in the first place. Just because I recognize this for what it is, it doesn't mean I'm against immigrants or immigration in general. I think you should chill a little and read my comments carefully, before you jump into accusations. I lived in times you can't dream about and in places you've never been to and most likely never will and I also have a degree in social sciences.

@anastasiaadinda8833 8 лет назад

Please remember that this is a story of a refugee, not an immigrant. Refugees did not have a choice when they have to leave their beloved countries, unlike immigrants who moved on their own decisions. So, for refugees to be taken in into a good community will be most likely a blessing to them and I dont think they will exploit it.

Shouldn't a woman be able to dress however she likes? Don't get me wrong, i find slut clothing distasteful, but it's no excuse for any sexual assault. If a man feels a urge to sexually assault a woman only because of her clothes, it means he already has some very serious issues, and he's incompatible with society.

I know it is sad all the way around. You want to help people but at the same time you want to protect your own people. The fact is there are many great people who are looking for help and are nice, kind and good people but then you get thugs from another country who make things bad. Finding the balance between help and not opening yourself up to the criminal element is quite a challenge either way you look at it.

Yes, this is just propaganda. They single out one individual of good character who has integrated well into the community. Also, it doesn't sound like they have had a huge influx of migrants, so the few that have come are more pressured to integrate and adapt to the culture. Elsewhere, though these economic migrants are coming at such a rate as to displace the native population. They don't have an incentive to integrate, and instead force their own backwards culture onto the host country. This video, while heartwarming, is very deceptive. I found it interesting that they didn't show us any of the other 80+ migrants in the town. How are they getting along? Has the crime rate increased, etc? Do they speak Italian and dress as westerners as Assan has done? These questions are conveniently glossed over.

He was helping rebuild their town... What welfare are you talking about, didn't you hear the story, the town was dying before the immigrants showed up. You are so close minded that you can't even interpret what you're seeing, good luck to you living in this complex world with your simple mind.

@meandmymouth 8 лет назад

A very moving story but I'm a bit worried about a very prestigious channel like NG getting involved in a highly political and controversial issue like immigration. I've always thought that NG should be dealing with the objective consequences of man's activities like climate change and species depletion than the rather more moral issues of politics and globalization.

@zero237hr 8 лет назад

Have you ever heard of the "Afghan Girl"? They have been reporting about refugees from various countries for decades.

@meandmymouth 8 лет назад

+zero237hr No I hadn't heard of that one. That one seems to come from an RT (Russian channel) ? Anyway I think responsible documentary channels should keep their distance from highly political issues particularly currently controversial issues like human migration and globalization which stir up passionately held opinions on both sides as we can see from the comments that have been made. We have to remember that whilst the producers of this item were probably unbiased and independent, many other people are adversely affected by the consequences of large scale mass migration.

@zero237hr 8 лет назад

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Girl Why should they keep their distance? Their reporters are going into war-zones and conflict areas risking their lives and some of them get killed to bring the news to us about what is happening in distant parts of the world (from Vietnam War till today's conflict in Middle East). You can't pinpoint certain narrative to National Geographic about this video because to them it is one in many various cases they decided to cover and it won't be the last about refugees even when Syrian conflict ends because the next one is always around the corner. And not to mention that there is a thing called Freedom of Press.

@meandmymouth 8 лет назад

+zero237hr Of course I'm not against freedom of press. I'm just saying that all of us are passionate about some issues like the migration crisis and passion tends to make us become somewhat irrational about it depending on our political roots. As Hamlet put it "Give me that man that is not passion's slave and I will wear him in my heart's core".

Propaganda? How do you think the US got populated by people other than Native Americans? All of the Europeans, Asians, Latinos & some black people (other than those brought over via slavery) came to the US to restart their lives and flee countries that had little for them. Learn your history. Migration is part of the human story.
