Images of storming invaders and dehumanized masses dominate the media coverage about refugees. Investigating the subjective impact of the images, 'In My Eyes' invites five refugees to comment on the media portrayal and express their feelings while watching press photos as well as short television clips. Their reaction sparks a conversation on identity, humanity and dignity. They open up their individual stories, criticize the prejudiced media portrayal and voice how they would like to be seen in German society. The film offers a new perspective not only on the media debate, but further on our habit to judge others without actually knowing them.
