Leave / Stay
is an independent
documentary
series
produced by
SpeakEasy Project
on the migration
trends
, life
experiences
,
dilemmas
and world of the contemporary Hungarian youth, the generation of the
“new mobility”.
In the recent two decades, the number of Hungarians considering
living
in a foreign country has
tripled
. A study made in 2012 by the Institute of Social Research shows 16% of the Hungarians toyed with the idea of living or working
abroad
and now more and more of them make it a
reality
. The media and the
blogosphere
have produced numerous stories on migration and working abroad experience creating nation wide interest and debate.
It is essential that worthwhile stories and experiences and dilemmas of the representatives of this „new mobility” are translated into motion picture in a
free and easy, enjoyable way
and made available for a wider
audience
. As opposed to statistical figures, living examples allow a closer look and may also reveal tendencies beyond the obvious phenomena such as
homesickness
, lack of family and roots as well as cultural assimilation. Examples showed this way may help
swingers
make decisions.
