Have seen a precut at the German media conference autumn 2004 and have been on the look-out for it ever since.

It basically tells the story of the people trying to cross from the African continent over to Spain and Europe and the difficulties they encounter and several methods used as well as the reasons for them to try to get into "Fortress Europe".

The film combines well political theory and praxis, handles the multi-linguality well, is well filmed and changes also from personal stories to explaining the general situation and back.

If I remember correctly, at the time I have seen it, the film was a bit long, the pace of the narrative occassionally a bit slow and the general mood in the film a bit dark and pessimistic, but it was quite well researched and gives a valuable insight into the topic of Fortress Europe revealing the deaths, repression and injuries of the European Policies, as well as making the transistion of the practical meaning of the bureaucratic pen-pushers policies in Brussels and elsewhere.

It is a socio-realistic video, without any direct action as fas as I have seen it, and without glorifying anything, about everyday life.

It is a film everybody should see who works around asylum, refugee and noborder issues, and the rest of the world should see it as well to learn about todays European migration and imigration policy and its effects on people.
