Mellem grænser

René Bo Hansen, 1986

This part fiction, part documentary portrait of a young Palestinian refugee describes the young man's immediate dilemmas and choices as an exile. Lebanese sequences sketch in his native roots and background, Danish sequences place him in what is for him a cultural no man's land, even after he has settled peacefully with wife and child. Letters from home somehow make him feel like a deserter.

Maid in Hell

Søren Klovborg, 2018

Harassment, abuse and 18-hour working days, the lives of thousands of domestic workers in the Middle East resemble modern slavery.

With unprecedented access the film discloses the agents behind the illegal recruiting of maids, and it uncovers and investigates the maids stories and the lack of justice.
