A Greek Tragedy: One Day, a Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis

A Greek Tragedy: One Day, a Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis - Jeanne Carstensen

A Greek Tragedy: One Day, a Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis

Five Days at Memorial meets Into the Raging Sea with this harrowing and moving true story of a devastating shipwreck during the biggest refugee crisis since World War II.

On October 28, 2015, a boat meant for only a few dozen passengers capsized off the coast of the Greek island of Lesvos. Hundreds of refugees, forced in desperation onto the overloaded boat manned by armed smugglers, were tossed into a roiling sea. The resulting loss of life, the largest in a single day during the crisis in the Aegean, shocked the world.

Now, after nearly a decade of research, interviews, and investigation, reporter Jeanne Carstensen has captured the dramatic twenty-four hours--including details of the refugees' lives before they left their homes to the courageous rescue efforts of the Greek islanders and volunteers rushing to help, even as their government and the EU failed to act. Carstensen brilliantly showcases the extraordinary heroism of ordinary people in extreme circumstances.

In a world where forced migration is on the rise, A Greek Tragedy challenges us to confront our collective humanity. It's an unforgettable testament of our times and a compassionate depiction of the lengths to which a person will go to save another human being.
