Synopsis

In northern Morocco lies the Spanish enclave of Melilla: Europe on African Land. On the mountain above live over a thousand hopeful African migrants, watching the land border, a fence system separating Morocco and Spain. Abou from Mali is one of them. For over a year, he has ceaselessly persisted in attempting to jump the fence. At the fence, they have to overcome the razor-wire, automatic pepper spray and brutal authorities. Some give up and return home, others never return from the fence.

  There are nearly 700 000 Cambodian young farmers left their homes villages to work in the thriving factories as cheap workforce for international textile brands. Genuine grievances on minimum wages have perennially been ignored.
  I had the opportunity to meet Ty Sophanith during labor protests that took place over several months in late 2013 and early 2014. Only after being wounded by police bullets during a peaceful wage-increase demonstration, Sophnaith and family agreed to testify and to be filmed to show to the world the real situation of Cambodian labors’ life.
  I choose to tell Sophanith’s story to humanize the issue of poor and deplorable living conditions of Cambodian textile workers. This film is, for me, a unique means to reverse the role of the victim.

Synopsis

In October 2015, the evicted residents who had imprisoned on a false charge of killing a policeman assembled in a place for the first time after the Yongsan Disaster six years ago. They had occupied a watchtower against unreasonable redevelopment policies and in protest against violent suppression used by riot police in 25 hours of their sit-in demonstration. Their colleagues had died from an unknown fire, and they became criminals. The delight of meeting again lasts only briefly. The ‘comrades’ rip out cruel words while blaming each other.
