We see the exploration of a boat accident which caused the deaths of a few hundred africans trying to land in Italy and this is juxtaposed with a Syrian family trying to get across Europe safely at the height of the Syrian conflict. there were some compelling moments for sure, atlhough it did not maintain that throughout. But it was definitely worth seeing if you are interested in this subject matter, and brings up a number of interesting points.Solidly good, but not great documentary. Definitely worth seeing though. (there wasn't ...that much..."chaos"..as the title would indicate, but there were enough compelling moments to make it worthwhile.)

The migrants who are desperate to enter Germany have four. Germans are finally figuring out they are going to be outnumber by migrants in short order if this continues. When the family gets to Germany, they realize their situation is no better than their time in Turkey and they are without people like themselves to enjoy a common culture instead of becoming part of the cultural practices of Germany.

This really opened my eyes to migrants roving Europe instead of fighting for freedom in their country.
