Our take
Michel Toesca’s compassionate documentary, which was shot over several fateful years, casts a new look at the predicament of undocumented migrants. A stirring yet still hopeful portrait of people putting their lives at risk, which lands a punch in the teeth of Europe’s harsh immigration policies.
