Inhalt: |
Eldorado draws inspiration from Academy Award® nominee Markus Imhoof’s (The
Boat is Full, MoreThan Honey) personal chiIdhood relationship with a young Italian girl
during the aftermath of WorId War lI. His Swiss famiIy took her in as a refugee, but she
was uItimately sent back to ltaly. lmhoof deIves into this life-changing experience of
personal loss, and highIights paralleIs with the today’s refugee crisis – the largest mass
displacement of peopIe since WWll. With extraordinary access, he takes audiences
through the ltalian warships of Operation Mare Nostrum, refugee camps in Southern
ItaIy, and asyIum hearings with Swiss authorities, which reject refugees at aII leveIs.
What emerges is a stark picture of an absurd and inhuman process that faiIs to address
a human tragedy: a crisis caused by economic imbalances turning the rich countries of
the North into the "EIdorado" that so many of the Iess fortunate try to reach at alI costs.
