MUMBAI: DocuBay is casting a powerful spotlight on one of the world’s most urgent humanitarian crises with its upcoming original, Gateway of Europe – The Migrant Crisis, premiering 20 June to mark World Refugee Day.

Set on the Italian island of Lampedusa - the perilous frontline of Europe’s migration story - the documentary captures the raw, unfiltered stories of those who risk everything to escape war, poverty and persecution. Through intimate interviews with migrants, locals, and rescue workers, the film traces a harrowing route paved with hope, heartbreak and hard questions.

Produced by IN10 Media Network’s premium documentary arm, the film peels back the headlines to reveal the human cost and quiet heroism behind one of the 21st century’s defining struggles. From overcrowded boats to overburdened border patrols, Gateway of Europe pulls no punches in exploring the emotional and political complexities that continue to rock the continent.

IN10 Media Network managing director Aditya Pittie said, "At DocuBay, we believe storytelling has the power to foster change, empathy and drive meaningful conversations. “Gateway of Europe - The Migrant Crisis brings to life the human dimension of a geopolitical challenge that involves migration, human rights, and policy that affects millions globally. This documentary is a call to awareness and action, highlighting voices that are often unheard.”

Gateway of Europe - The Migrant Crisis, filmmaker & director Max Serio said, “My goal was to capture the human faces behind the migration crisis, for which people are driven by hope, fear, and the search for a better life. This film is an invitation to understand their journey beyond borders and politics.”

DocuBay chief content officer Samar Khan said, “At DocuBay, we remain
committed to curating purpose-driven content that resonates universally, provokes thought, and builds bridges across cultures. With Gateway of Europe - The Migrant Crisis, we encourage viewers to look past the surface and confront the emotional depth and personal struggles behind the global migration conversation.
