You are fleeing war, poverty, persecution. You have already come a long way, hoping to reach Europe — a place of safety, a place where human rights are respected, a place where life is possible. But suddenly, they’re stuck. VOICES FROM THE BORDER is a collection of 15 short portraits of people held at the external borders of Europe and of residents from these border regions.
Portraits from Serbia, Mauritania, Tunisia, Morocco, Bosnia, and Turkey. Filmed by residential filmmakers. These portraits are stumbling stones in a time of heated and turbulent debates surrounding European migration and asylum policy.
They take a step back: from “masses” and “flows,” individuals emerge once again — with stories we can actually listen to. There is no judgment. We take a few minutes to simply listen to what people on the other side of Europe's border fortifications have to say.
These are stories of hopes and dreams, but also bitter experiences and realities back home. It breaks apart certainties and opinions and shifts our perspective: instead of looking at borders from Europe, we look at Europe from beyond its borders.
