Every day a hundred refugees and asylum seekers (mostly Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans and Afghans) are learning Italian in Rome, participating in a series of workshops organized by Asinitas Association. The short movies The Tree and Balance were directed by a young Ethiopian filmmaker, Dagmawi Yimer. He wants to show the working methodology of the Italian school, collecting the testimonies of the students and building an audiovisual archive of migrant memory.
