This month, POV brings you Journeys, a powerful collection examining the complex realities of migration and displacement. These films highlight the human stories behind global headlines, revealing both the challenges and resilience of those seeking safety and opportunity.
Why This Collection Matters:
Migration impacts approximately 281 million people globally (UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2023)
Forced displacement has reached record levels, affecting 110 million people (UNHCR Global Trends Report, 2024)
According to the Center for Media & Social Impact, documentary films increase audience understanding of complex social issues by 72%.
These carefully selected films illuminate the emotional, psychological, and physical journeys of migration - documenting both hardships and triumphs while honoring the courage of those who undertake these difficult paths.
The complete Journeys collection is available now through March 31st on pov.org and the PBS App.
