Europe is Good? Blocked in Morocco
The documentary tells the story of thousands of sub-Saharan people who got stock in Morocco, the border country they were passing through when trying to reach Europe. From 2005 onwards, police pressure increased in African borders, provoking a blocking in subhuman conditions. This wait has turned into a very lucrative business for the networks and those who benefit from abandon, fear and despair.
‘Blocked in Morocco’ comprises many stories staged by Sub-Saharan men, women and children, explaining what emigrating illegally involves, openly, with all the harshness it entails to go on a trip through the desert and end up blocked, as an illegal Immigrant and without money to advance or go back.
