The Muddy River of Baasim

Το θολό ποτάμι του Μπαασίμ

23rd TDF: European Premiere

A story that began in August 2013 in Syria and is still going on. The poetic words of a refugee who grew up wandering. The human river of refugees and the river-passage as a reference axis for the wandering bodies. Defenseless bodies in the space, wrapped in barbed wire, under the supervision of police and military guards and thermal cameras. Nomadic refugees in the space in unexpected housing conditions.
