About The film

After being rescued in the sea, thousands of migrants are left in uncertainty as they attempt to get settled in Europe. In addition to the physical and psychological obstacles ahead of them, they must also confront the visceral and traumatic journey they have left behind.

The Borders of Paradise centres on the southern French-Italian border. In a region known for its glamour and excess exists one of Europes worst humanitarian hotspots. Over the past decade this region has become a bottleneck in the migrant reception crisis. Asylum seekers face deplorable humanitarian conditions, and 57 individuals have lost their lives trying to enter France since 2015.
