    Refugee Picnic Episode 1

    Rremida accounts the harrowing moments leading up to her family’s escape from Albania in March 1991—a journey defined by urgency, uncertainty, and little time to prepare. She provides a gripping, step-by-step account of the chaos at the port, the desperate fight for passage, and the sheer determination that carried them onto the ship bound for freedom. Interweaving personal memories with historical context, she sheds light on the dire conditions that forced thousands to flee, from the collapse of communism to the economic and social turmoil that followed. In a deeply personal reflection, Rremida also answers questions about her background, offering insight into the resilience and courage required to leave everything behind in search of a new life.
