Busting myths about global migration
We chose to present our work on the truths and lies that exist in the world about refugees and migrants in the form of a vertical quiz, with the statements and the corresponding answers (true or false).
This is also the script we're using for the game show we're filming, called "Skittles or Nittles." The title is a reference to a tweet by Donald J. Trump, Jr., on Sept. 19 that compared refugees to a bowl of candy in which a few poisoned pieces "could kill you."
The image of Skittles in the tweet was later removed at the request of the Skittles candy company.
“Skittles are candy. Refugees are people,” Skittles said in a statement. “We don't feel it is an appropriate analogy.”
