4.1 Miles is a documentary that shifts the focus from state-centric power dynamics to the lived experiences of underrepresented global citizens. By focusing on the Mediterranean refugee crisis, the film centers the survival and ability to act of displaced populations. The narrative structure prioritizes human empathy and moral relativism over rigid legalism, disrupting conventional narratives of border enforcement and highlighting the tension between institutional duty and individual morality. While the film excels in racial and cultural representation by centering non-Western voices, it lacks specific focus on LGBTQ+ identities or disability themes.
