THE LAND BETWEEN

SYNOPSIS

THE LAND BETWEEN ofrece una íntima mirada de las vidas ocultas y desesperadas de los migrantes Subsaharianos que viven en las montañas del norte de Marruecos. Para la mayoría, su sueño es entrar en Europa debiendo saltar una barrera altament militarizado para entrar a Melilla, un enclave español en la costa norte del continente africano.

Con un acceso único y sin precedentes, esta película documenta la vida cotidiana de estos migrantes atrapados en el limbo, así como la extrema violencia y el maltrato constante que enfrentan por parte de las autoridades Marroquíes y Españolas. También explora muchas preguntas universales, incluyendo cómo y por qué las personas están dispuestas a arriesgarlo todo, incluso su vida, a abandonar su país de origen, su familia y amigos, en busca de una vida nueva y mejor.

“THE LAND BETWEEN is not only an excellent film, but also a political catalyst that unsettles the viewer and turns his empathy into anger. The sort of anger that brings the anticipation of change.”
