    • Synopsis
    • Nancy Porsia, a young freelance journalist, went to Libya for
      the first time in 2011, four days after Gaddafi’s death.
      Moved permanently to the country, for a long time she was the
      only international journalist to tell about its troubled
      process of democratization, becoming one of the leading
      experts of the North African country. Pregnant with a half-
      Lybian baby, in 2017 she is forced to leave the country because
      of the publication of her burning inquiry about the collusion
      of the Libyan Coast Guard with the trafficking of migrants.
      After three years, the land of her son continues to be
      dangerous for her safety, but she does not give up to stay
      away from there.
