Synopsis
The ongoing refugee crisis is the biggest mass displacement of people since WW II. Imhoof takes us on a journey through the Italian warships of Operation Mare Nostrum, refugee camps in Southern IT, and asylum hearings with Swiss authorities, all designed to turn back refugees at all levels. A crisis caused by economic imbalances turning the rich countries of the North into the Eldorado that so many of the less fortunate try to reach at all cost.
