Adrift

ADRIFT, by Felipe Dana and Renata Brito is a digital investigation that combines writing, photography, video and graphics into an immersive presentation that retraces the voyage of 43 people lost in the Atlantic as they tried to reach Europe.
The project is accompanied by a 13-minute short documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes of the two-year-long investigation.
