Extraction: The Raft of The Medusa In this film Salome Lamas (Portugal) portrays a brief moment of euphoria as the occupants on the raft spot a glimpse illusion for their drift, hoping and praying to be rescued. We can almost hear the hoarse cries in an attempt to draw attention to their desperate plight, mustering their last ounce of strength to the void. This is their last chance of survival. The film is an allegory for the state of climate and environmental emergency.
