Contents/Summary
- Summary
- 'The Invisibles' follows four asylum seekers on their journey through official migration proceedings in Germany. Their arrival in Germany is not a warm welcome, asylum seekers in Brandenburg are first brought to the initial registration center in Eisenhüttenstadt, a city in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg, close to the Polish border. This is where they will go through the crucial steps of the asylum proceedings in the next three months. Their day is filled with boredom and uncertainty, but nevertheless they have a life, and a vague feeling of temporary home. Their hopes of a new start in Germany conflict sharply with the reality of the bureaucratic decision-making process and 'The Invisibles' provides a rare insight into the black box of asylum law.
