A bold and unmissable documentary that confronts the realities of a global emergency

DocuBay, the global video-on-demand platform dedicated to premium documentaries, has announced the worldwide release of its latest original feature, Gateway of Europe – The Migrant Crisis, launched on World Refugee Day, June 20. The film is now streaming exclusively on DocuBay across 170+ countries.
The film shines a spotlight on one of the most urgent issues of our time Europe’s ongoing migration crisis. More than just a documentary, Gateway of Europe is a poignant exploration of resilience, sacrifice, and the shared human spirit.
Shot on the Italian island of Lampedusa, a key entry point for thousands fleeing conflict and poverty, the documentary delivers a gripping, on-the-ground perspective. With raw visuals and deeply emotional testimonies, it captures the incredible risks migrants take in search of a better life and the profound impact on the island’s residents.
“Over 110 million people are currently displaced worldwide, a staggering reminder of the global migration crisis. Gateway of Europe brings this reality home by showing us the people behind the numbers. At IN10 Media Network, we believe in storytelling that awakens empathy and compels change. This film is not just timely; it’s necessary,” shared Aditya Pitte, managing director at IN10 Media Network.
"Behind every data point lies a family torn apart, a child who crossed an ocean, a parent making the impossible choice to leave home. With Gateway of Europe, I wanted to humanise the crisis, to let the camera be a witness to both despair and resilience. These are not statistics; these are lives at the edge of survival and hope," said Max Serio, the director and filmmaker.
“When we speak of ‘millions displaced,’ we often forget the heartbeat behind the headline. Gateway of Europe confronts that blind spot. At DocuBay, we are committed to stories that break silos, and this film does exactly that. It transforms the migrant crisis from an abstract issue into an intimate human experience that resonates across borders,” said Samar Khan, chief content officer of DocuBay.
Now streaming exclusively on DocuBay, the full feature delivers a gripping and unfiltered portrayal of the migrant crisis through powerful visuals, deeply personal narratives, and a raw urgency that captures the scale and emotional weight of this global emergency.
