A report on the rising number of migrants trying to reach Europe by dangerous boat trips across the Mediterranean Sea out of desperation to leave Syria, Eritrea and other Middle Eastern and North African countries controlled by dictatorships. Overcrowded boats leave from Libya and Turkey. Once the vessel is in proximity to Italy, a distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard and they are rescued and brought back to Italy. Up to 2,000 migrants have died this year, including the estimated 800 who perished last week when a boat capsized and sank. Traffickers have also been taking advantage of the situation by charging exorbitant fees. Includes interviews with: Arturo Incerti, Italian Coast Guard Officer; Mulu Amale, migrant; Captain Leopoldo Manna, Italian Coast Guard; Federico Soda, regional director for the Mediterranean for the International Organization for Migration; and Ahmad Zaid al-Abdu and his wife Fatima, migrants (through translator).

On August 31, 1969, in São Paulo, five militants from the armed left who were fighting against the military dictatorship were arrested by Operation Bandeirantes (OBAN).

The news from the Middle East worsens daily into a nightmare scenario - one eerily foretold in 2012 as two young, unlikely Syrian activists launch a radical plan for bringing democracy to their country. Under threat of death, they organize when no one else will. Red Lines provides cinematic boots on the ground, offering a rare window into the Syrian conflict taking us from the trenches to geopolitical jockeying and becoming, along the way, a searing exposé of an ongoing inhumane crisis.
