Lost Generation- Greece

This is the story of young, often underage migrants fleeing their home countries, trying to enter the European Union through Greece. Every day in Greece, these young people confront the difficulties of a country tormented by the economic crisis. Greece also refuses asylum requests more than any other country in Europe, reaching a 99.5% refusal rate in 2012. Many young migrants therefore see other European countries as their only hope of a future, and attempt to leave Greece at the first possible moment, often in desperate ways, tolerating desperate conditions. The wars they leave behind at home are just the beginning of their tragedy.
