Synopsis

3 years after the migration "crisis" that "hit" Europe in 2015, Grand H challenges the biased asylum narrative by examining and raising awareness on the dehumanization inherent to European asylum policies and governance. 15 vérité-testimonials about social courage, activism, the magic of human bonds edited like a surreal dialogue for a polyphonic, social justice documentary. A documentary giving the voice to activists, committed citizens and professionals (reception class teacher, psychiatrist, asylum lawyer, NGO project managers, committed citizens in the refugee camps in Greece & Luxembourgish Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean Asselborn about human bonds, attachment, citizen commitment and human rights that tackles the conflict between the humane approach and the clinical world of the asylum system.
