"Mediterranea", a first feature by US-Italian director Jonas Carpigna** who was part of the shooting crew on the well-received 2012 film "Beasts of the Southern Wild", follows two Africans as they make an odyssey to Europe -- and to disillusionment.

It then goes on to show the dangers and hard slog as the two main characters make it to Italy.
