“How flight changed the world”. The Web documentary describes the flight history of the human race. It shows how societies deal with refugees and how the flight situations are repeatedly mastered. Flight has reasons such as persecution, war, famine, natural disasters. Flight runs according to rules which are set by international law again and again. And flight has economic, cultural and social consequences. Movements of refugees are historical normality – many of the fears are unfounded.
