UNDP and Turning Tables present: #BoatPeopleAreRealPeople

Five years into the conflict in Syria, over 60% of the population is either internally displaced or has fled the country. The fighting has drastically rolled back the region’s human development achievements from 113 out of 189 in 2010 before the conflict to 173 out of 183 countries by the end of 2014.

The video follows Syrian refugees as they arrive to the European mainland and begin taking the first steps in their new lives. A message of hardship, but nevertheless hope - a flame in the darkness.

This video is 1/4 music videos produced by Turning Tables and UNDP for the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals #2030NOW at the Social Good Summit in New York September 27-28 2015.
