STRETCH / BALANCE

After one year and a half from the closing of the borders along the Western Balkan route and the signing of the EU-Turkey agreement, EU leaders declare their strategy to tackle the migration crisis a success. Thousands asylum seekers, who ended up getting stuck on the Greek Islands Registration Camps, are entangled in a bureaucracy that is meant to ease their rejection and expulsion.

STRETCH/BALANCE mixes an imaginary visual language with interview and human rights organization reports to talk about the unspoken tragedy behind European externalization agreements. Through the voice and story of a Kashmiri political asylum seeker, the film aims to shine a light over the European hypocritical commitment to Human Rights Conventions.
