Europe is putting up the walls - in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe. The documentary "Kein Land für Niemand - Abschottung eines Einwanderungslandes" sheds light on the drastic consequences of the European isolationist policy and Germany's role in this paradigm shift.
The documentary "No Country for Nobody" accompanies a rescue mission in the Mediterranean, shows the catastrophic conditions in refugee camps and gives a voice to people who have survived the life-threatening journey to Europe. At the same time, the film takes a look at political and social developments in Germany: a growing right-wing populism is shaping the discourse. Flight and migration are increasingly being criminalized and humanitarian aid is coming under pressure.
Germany is repeatedly setting the pace here and Europe is following suit. Through exclusive interviews with academics, political decision-makers and activists, "No Country for Nobody" questions the current narrative on flight and migration and sheds light on the mechanisms by which fear and populism determine the political agenda. How did it get this far? And what alternatives are there to a Europe that continues to seal itself off?
