Focuses on one of the most mediatized migrant disasters in Europe. In October 2013, an overcrowded fishing boat carrying Eritrean refugees caught fire near Lampedusa, Italy, where 368 people died. Karina Horsti shows how this disaster produced a kaleidoscope of afterlives that continue to assume different forms depending on the position of the witness or survivors.
