Contents/Summary

Summary

Four contract workers from Mozambique are recounting the racial attacks which happened in Hoyerswerda (East Germany) in September 1991. The Hoyerswerda incident is now revisited by the victims as well as Germans who made efforts to assist them. Their stories were captured in the form of protocols with the help of Waltraud Spill, a German woman who helped a lot of African co-workers to deal with the daily life in the former GDR. The testimonies are accompanied by surveillance footage from Frontex, the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union, where you can see how the arrests of refugees were recorded by a drone. Frontex uses this footage for internal trainings. The montage challenges the viewer to reflect on the last nearly quarter century of European unity over asylum policy and questions where it is we stand now.
