Film followed by discussion: No Country for Nobody

Europe is putting up the walls - in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe. The documentary sheds light on the drastic consequences of Europe's isolationist policy and Germany's role in this paradigm shift. While Germany's asylum and migration policy is increasingly moving away from humanitarian principles, the situation at the EU's external borders is escalating.

The documentary accompanies a rescue mission in the Mediterranean, shows the catastrophic conditions in refugee camps and gives a voice to people who have survived the life-threatening journey to Europe. At the same time, the film takes a look at political and social developments in Germany: a growing right-wing populism is shaping the discourse, flight and migration are increasingly being criminalized and humanitarian aid is coming under pressure. Germany is repeatedly setting the pace here and Europe is following suit.

️ The event is taking place as part of our donation campaign "Mensch lässt mensch nicht ertrinken - Deine Spende hilft!". With this campaign, we want to raise awareness of the issue of sea rescue and motivate people to support the sea rescue organization Sea-Eye with a monthly donation. Thousands of people are still drowning in the Mediterranean every year. Europe lets them drown in order to deter other potential refugees. Civilian sea rescue organizations such as Sea-Eye defy this deadly isolationist policy. Their life-saving work is financed by donations - your donation helps.
