Samos: The Faces of Our Border

Dir. Shams Abou El Enein

Documentary || 1h 28m || Switzerland

At the borders of the Schengen Area, international laws and conventions have forced thousands of migrants into inhuman camps. One of them is the “hotspot” of Samos, on the island of the same name. 

Focusing on the people in and around this migrant camp, built for 600 persons but where more than 6000 live now, it also gives an insight on the European politics that have led to this catastrophic situation.
This is not inspired by a true story. These are true stories.
