Summary
An island in a state of emergency: How do we cope when, all of a sudden, our home becomes the centre of international media-coverage? When the hurt and suffering of people fleeing, is closer and more tangible than ever? The inhabitants of Lesbos experienced this first-hand: in the winter of 2015, hundreds of boats reach the Greek island, having set sail from the Turkish mainland. Daily, up to three thousand asylum seekers arrive from the crisis areas of the Middle East and with them numerous journalists and volunteer workers from all over the world.
In "At The Margin" directors Sara Hüther and Sita Scherer, students of the Kunsthochschule Kassel, visualise th eunder-represented perspective of the Greek villagers. Instead of covering their story from the outside, they accompany people from three villages in Lesbos during their daily lives and give them the space to tell their own stories.
