Sea-Watch is a non-profit organization that conducts civil search and rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean, supported by European civil society. Only a small part of their commitment is visible from the outside, and during the summer of 2019 it became even more important to clarify how they operate and the challenges they face on a daily basis. We worked together with Housatonic Studio to design and produce a clear and effective video, developed within a tight timeframe to ensure the message remained relevant.
