THE LAND BETWEEN

“THE LAND BETWEEN is not only an excellent film, but also a political catalyst that unsettles the viewer
and turns his empathy into anger. The sort of anger that brings the anticipation of change.”

Festival of Migrant Film 2014 – Ljubljana, Slovenia

** VISIONAGE MAINTENANT DISPONIBLE GRATUITEMENT **

SYNOPSIS

Le documentaire THE LAND BETWEEN se déroule dans les montagnes du nord du Maroc et permet au public d’avoir un aperçu sur la vie misérable et clandestine des migrants subsahariens. La plupart d’entre eux rêvent d’aller en Europe en traversant une barrière hautement militarisée près de Melilla, une enclave au nord du continent Africain.

Le film révèle la vie quotidienne des migrants coincés à Melilla ainsi que le mal traitement et les actes de violences qu’ils subissent au quotidien. Le film explore plusieurs questions notamment les raisons qui ont poussé ces personnes à prendre le risque de tout laisser et de quitter leurs pays et leurs familles à la recherche de meilleurs conditions de vie.
