Are refugees’ expectations compatible with European rules?
We
have chosen this documentary to stimulate reflections outside of the
classical law’s topics about migration and refugees. The movie gives a
clear explanation
of the different and often clashing viewpoints on migration. Guido
Hendrix succeeds to present the intricacy of the European migration
regime in a very non-scholar way, easily accessible to anyone.
This movie has been widely awarded and acclaimed. It has been nominated 11 times to different film festivals and won 11 awards.
SYNOPSIS
In a classroom newly arrived refugees learn a lesson about
(multifarious) Europe. Operating at the intersection of fiction and
documentary, Stranger in Paradise reflects on the power relations
between Europeans and refugees in a candid fashion.
WHAT IS IMSO?
International Migration Student Organisation. = I’M SO
We are a group of several students willing
to
inform and raise awareness on migration-related phenomena happening on
the ground and to foster discussion around them. Our aim is to establish
a structure offering
the possibilities for students, former students and anyone interested
to realize, advertise, construct or have support in their projects
related to migration and human rights.
