Nothing could have fated Antonin Richard to rescue people at sea. But in 2016, after training as a journalist, he left France and travelled to the island of Lesbos to participate in rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea with Greenpeace activists. Through his story of four years of rescuing migrants at sea, Antonin Richard reports from the inside the daily life of those who wish to give migrants the right to have a better future, and the consequences of Europe’s migration policies.
