The life that I want to live is one that fulfills me. I want to feel that I’ve done something with my life. That I’ve taken my privilege and I’ve given a little piece of that to somebody that is a little bit less fortunate than myself. That’s what makes me feel good.

You can help
SPREAD THE WORD!
I encourage anyone interested in my work to learn for yourself what it means to be a refugee, asylum seeker or migrant but also what it means to be guided by humanism and love. We need to show that we care about what is going on and the reception of these displaced people. We need to show our leaders and our communities that we support these people and want to fight for their rights. No human being on this earth is illegal. No human deserves to die while seeking safety.
VOLUNTEER:
Si vous avez des qualifications spécifiques, du temps libre ou simplement la volonté d'aider, renseignez-vous sur les besoins des ONG dans votre pays ou ailleurs. Indigo Volunteers, en particulier, est une excellente plate-forme pour les opportunités de bénévolat.
DONATE

With the young volunteers ensuring migrants' safety in Lesbos, Greece (exclusive clip)
During the filming of BIGGER THAN US in 2019 Melati met students and young adults who sign up, for a summer or more, to ensure the safety of migrants who reach Europe from the Greek coast. Why do the Youth come to help? How do they do it? Here, they share what they understand about the migration crisis and their role. These are scenes you will not see in our BIGGER THAN US feature-film.
"The hardest part is not this job. It's getting home". Mary Finn (exclusive clip)
When she is not in operation, Mary Finn, one of our seven protagonists returns to her country England and tries to explain to those around her what she has seen and experienced. Most of the time, she meets indifference, anger even. Yet, 3 out of 4 humanitarians suffer from psychological distress. So how does Mary keep hope alive? Here are some things you won't see in our feature-film BIGGER THAN US. An exclusive bonus video, on Mary.
