Solidarity Crime. The borders of democracy

In the organizer's words:

Solidarity Crime. The borders of democracy denounces the systematic policy of human rights violations against migrants and all those who have shown solidarity with them. The documentary presents their stories through interviews with migrants (at the borders of 14 cities and in 5 European countries) and with those who have been punished and continue to be prosecuted for facilitating - without any material gain - the entry, transit or stay of irregular migrants. Migrants have been criminalized for years; and for more than a decade, people who stand up for their rights have also been considered "solidarity criminals." But aren't these people among the more than 500 million European citizens the ones who best represent the fundamental values of the Union: Solidarity, respect for human dignity, defense of human rights?

Followed by a discussion with director Juan Pablo Aris Escarcena.
