Rohingya, cronache di un popolo perseguitato", un reportage-specchio che tratteggia la storia e l'attualità dei Rohingya. Popolo apolide e vittima di genocidio, oggi è ancora confinato in un limbo senza diritti tra le violenze del loro Paese d'origine e i campi profughi da cui non possono allontanarsi nello Stato d'arrivo
