DE 2025, 106 ', DCP, German, D: Maik Lüdemann & Max Ahrens
Germany is at a historic turning point: for the first time since 1945, a migration policy resolution is adopted in the Bundestag in 2025 - with the support of the AfD, which is being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution due to its far-right tendencies. The declaration on limiting immigration envisages, among other things, the complete closure of Germany's borders. A paradigm shift is on the horizon: away from the protection of refugees and towards isolation and deterrence.
Kein Land für Niemand - Abschottung eines Einwanderungslandes sets out in search of the causes of this political turning point and takes viewers on an evocative journey. The documentary begins at Europe's external borders, where an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe meets state ignorance, but also civil commitment. It accompanies a rescue mission in the Mediterranean, documents the catastrophic situation from the air and tells the stories of survivors who have found their way to Germany despite violence and deadly risks.
While Germany is helping to build a European fortress, the political landscape is shaking. From emotionalized media reports to politicians helplessly rowing to the right, a social narrative is emerging that is directed against migrants and those seeking protection. Is migration really the big problem it is made out to be? Or does the policy of isolation reveal deeper social fears?
In powerful stories, the film shows an increasingly frightening reality from the perspective of refugees and analyzes the dynamics behind the historical shift to the right. In dialogue with activists, academics and journalists, Kein Land für Niemand - Abschottung eines Einwanderungslandes calls for the brutal status quo and the seemingly unstoppable radicalization of the migration and asylum debate to be questioned. Because in order for there to be a credible "never again" in the future, we need alternatives - alternatives that do justice to the unavoidable reality of migration in a crisis-ridden world and an immigration country in transition.
