O objetivo deste texto é trazer uma reflexão sobre o binómio migração e trabalho e a sua representação através do cinema documentário. A crise social e política atual, bem como as catástrofes ambientais e os conflitos políticos e armados, como as guerras que o mundo enfrenta na atualidade, sobretudo no contexto europeu com a atual guerra da Ucrânia, reflete-se em estratégias de acolhimento de grandes parcelas da população que deixam o seu país, nomeadamente ucranianos que deixam a Ucrânia invadida pela Rússia, em situação de migração forçada e de refúgio. As imagens da guerra e de pessoas a abandonarem a sua terra natal, a Ucrânia, têm sido frequentes em todos os meios de comunicação social do mundo desde 24 de fevereiro de 2022. Um dos maiores documentaristas da atualidade, o ucraniano Sergei Loznitsas, nas suas obras documentais abordou a questão das lutas e guerras vividas pela população ucraniana, bem como as consequências desastrosas para a população após o fim do conflito, como em Maïdam (2014) e Donbass (2018). Portugal, antes da atual guerra na Ucrânia, contava já com um expressivo número de migrantes ucranianos no seu território, desde a década de 1990 (Ramos, 2007), sendo atualmente esta comunidade de imigrantes a segunda maior no país e este conflito irá aumentar o número de refugiados e emigrantes que se instalarão em Portugal. Alguns filmes documentários realizados em Portugal nestes últimos anos procuram representar a situação vivenciada por migrantes nas suas variantes e/imigração. A título de exemplo, o filme Lisboeta (Sérgio Tréfaut, 2004) visa contribuir para a elaboração de uma reflexão sobre a complexa questão do deslocamento de pessoas que, por razões muito diversas, se veem obrigadas a deixar os seus países de origem em busca de melhores condições de vida em países de acolhimento.
The purpose of this text is to reflect on the binomial migration and work and its representation through documentary cinema. The current social and political crisis, as well as environmental catastrophes and political and armed conflicts, such as the wars that the world is currently facing, mainly in the European context, is reflected in reception strategies for large portions of the population that leave the country invaded by its neighbor, Russia, in a situation of forced migration and refuge. Images of war and people abandoning their homeland, Ukraine, have been frequent in all the world's media since February 24, 2022. One of the greatest documentarians of our time, the Ukrainian Sergey Loznitsas, in his documentary works addressed the issue of struggles and wars experienced by the Ukrainian population, as well as the disastrous consequences for the population after the end of the conflict, as in Maïdam (2014) and Donbass (2018). Portugal, even before the current war in Ukraine, already had a significant number of Ukrainian migrants in its territory, since the late 1990s (Ramos, 2007), and this community is currently the second largest in the country, and the current conflict will increase the number of refugees and migrants who will settle in Portugal. Some documentary films made in Portugal in recent years seek to represent the situation experienced by migrants, in their e/immigration variants. For example, the film Lisboetas (Sérgio Tréfaut, 2004) aim to help in the elaboration of a reflection on the thorny issue of the displacement of people that, for the most varied reasons, are forced to leave their countries of origin in search of better living conditions in host countries.
