"The Other Half" – Movienight with PRO ASYL and Project ELPIDA

We read a lot about the fates of refugees, but apart from a few pictures in the daily newspapers, we actually see relatively little of them. However, there are some courageous people who have made it their mission to document these very fates.

Journalist Giorgos Moutafis has followed the journey of refugees across European borders and turned it into a film. ‘The Other Half’ shows what people take upon themselves to find a life in greater safety in Europe. And he captures images of hopelessness, death and exhaustion. Routes that are already life-threatening become death traps due to illegal pushbacks and denied sea rescue. In short, the film shows the reality of our European border policy and tells the stories of people seeking protection who are defying this reality.

PRO ASYL and Project ELPIDA have joined together and will discuss the film afterwards. We will also be supported by the Association of Sign Language Interpreters, who will accompany the whole evening in sign language.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you there!
