On the Border - Europas Grenzen in der Sahara

Österreich Schweiz Deutschland 2018-2024 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Security and combatting terrorism – on the back of this promise, the EU introduces new border measures north of Agadez in Niger. Instead of curtailing violence and youth criminality, they cause unrest. Has the desert city suddenly become an African Schengen border? This film takes stock of the international migration crisis from the perspective of the inhabitants.
