JUMPING THE FENCE

Are you asleep or what?

To the right, the right!

Goddamn it all the hell!

Are you asleep?

Slow down, brother,
they won't pay us more. We are beat.

Sorry, I didn't realize.

Ibra, Colombia, you.

Come on, when you're done,
go to the fosse.

The mixer is on its way,
the grid has to be finished.

Let's go.

Gentlemen, the mixer is late.

Here we go.
How late is it going to be?

Two hours.
It is what it is.

- Come on, let's go.
- What a son of a bitch.

What's up?
Aren't we leaving?

Go back!

Ibra!

Come on, hey!

Wait, stop, stop!

Come on, go for it.

Come on, come on.

- Okay!
- Come on, let's go!

Go, go!

Come on, there.

There, Ibra, well done. There.

Come on, Ibra, smoothe it down right.

Good evening.

- Hi, bro.
- Hello.

Did you ask your boss?

Yes. He starts a new job next month.
He said he'll call you.

- Thanks.
- All good.

- Hello, Ibra.
- Hello.

- Extra hours again?
- It is what it is.

Damn.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Are you hungry?
- Yes, very.

First we eat.

Then we wash...

and after...

Stop touching my belly,
he hasn't grown since this morning.

If it's a girl, I want to call her
after my mother.

That sounds good.

But, when are we telling
your mother and family?

My belly is growing.

People will see.

I'll talk to my mum on Sunday.

What about you?

After you.

I don't need anyone's permission.

Good night, you two!

How delicious!

You take such good care
of him.

Want some?

No, thanks, cousin.

I have to watch my figure.

And I don't want to bother.

By the way, since you ask,

I've been granted asylum
five years!

I'd forgotten!

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

And when do you register?

Tomorrow. And I will get my card.

And we can rent our own flat, cousin.

And you can register with us.

And, cousin, we can get married

so you can get your papers
and your kid's.

And then we get divorced

and you marry this unfriendly black guy

so he gets his papers too.

How does that sound?

It's not such a bad idea.

We'll think about it.

But go get some sleep.
Or you won't get up tomorrow.

Right, I'm off to bed,

as I'm going to sleep so sweetly tonight.

I know, I just can't help it.

I'm sorry.

Come on, Samuel.
Put the fucking phone away.

Samuel, let's go!

Come on, man!

Samuel, let's go!

Let's go, they're here!

Sir, just a minute.
Show me your ID.

- Hey, come here!
- Relax, we'll get someone else.

Your ID.
Do you understand Spanish?

- Yes.
- Fucking hell, come on. Your papers.

I don't have any.

You don't.
You don't have any ID?

Yes, my passport, it's at home.

The passport is no use
and you know it.

- You're coming with us?
- Where?

The station, don't make a scene,
it's better for you in the long run.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.
Get out, out. Let's go!

Stay still.

No type of papers?

Where do you live?

Here?

Mariama.

One of Ibrahim's workmates is here.
He wants a word.

Samuel, what's going on?

Can we talk privately?

Just tell me,
they're like family.

- Is Ibra alright?
- The police have arrested him.

Why? What happened?

Nothing. He didn't do anything wrong.
Just a raid.

Do you know which station he is at?

No.

I'm going to call
the Association's lawyer.

He's the foreman
of the job we're working on.

I'm sorry for what happened to Ibra.

They were secret cops
waiting to catch...

The first black guy walking pass.

That's about right.

We are very happy
with Ibra, he is a good worker.

My boss gave me this
for whatever you need.

But no one should know
where he was working,

and less so working
with someone else's papers.

Your boss can relax.

I'm sure Ibra won't say anything.
He's not a snitch.

I have to go.

Good morning.
I'm Rodrigo García,

the public defender
you've been assigned.

Sit down, please.

Please remove the handcuffs?

It's a little awkward talking with those.

Thank you.

Are you well?

Are they treating you OK.

Do you understand Spanish well?

Yes.

I'm going to summarize
what you're going to sign.

If you want to, of course.

Ibrahim Touré Bah,
a 29 year old Malian,

has contravened the obligation
to voluntarily leave the country

when notified
with the return order issued

for having entered
through an unauthorized border port.

A preferential expulsion procedure
has been initiated against you.

As you don't show roots
in Spain, the police request

you be held
at the Immigration Removal Center.

Did you understand?

What does...
"preferential expulsion" mean?

Preferential expulsion is the worst bit.

The window for special pleas
is only 48 hours.

And the sanction is expulsion.

But having a deportation order
doesn't mean you'll be deported.

Deportations don't always happen.
And,

they can only hold you 60 days
in the IRC.

If they haven't deported you in that time,
they have to let you go.

What if they deport me?

If deported, you won't be allowed back
into Spain for between three to ten years.

It's what they law says.

The police were talking about

a deportation flight for Africans.

This is why they were hunting
for blacks.

If they want to deport me,
then let them.

But don't lock me up in a IRC.

I haven't stolen anything
or done anything to anyone.

I'm not a delinquent.

Rafa, is the information
going around true?

Damn, Rafa, you should have told me.

So far this week twelve boys
and three girls have been locked up.

And they arrested
two more boys this morning.

Okay, okay, sorry.

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's not your fault,

it's just that...

Ten days is little time. How are we going
to manage with such little time.

Well, just confirm
the final flight destination, okay?

And I can prioritize each case.

Okay, okay, thank you.

And I'm sorry. Yes, I know.
Excuse my tone. I'm sorry.

Alright then, kisses.
Bye, Rafa, goodbye.

Well.

Did you get your card yet?

Yes, thank you.

You must be Mariama,
the partner of...

- Let's see, who was it?
- Ibrahim Touré.

Of Ibrahim, yes.

How are you?

Well, relax.
I will try to do everything I can for him.

I need you to get all
of the documentation of his you have

proving his roots in Spain.

Tell me everything
about yourself and Ibrahim.

The Rescue Service
picked us up near Cadiz,

right before we were all about to drown.

How many were in the boat?

56 of us left Morocco.

38 of us got here.

Two babies died on the journey.

We were rescued very close
to the coast of Tenerife.

We were there for four months.

Then they sent me
to a reception center in Bilbao.

And do you have any papers?

No.

Are you registered?

Not me,

the owner doesn't want to register
anyone else, we're already too many.

But my wife is registered.

I know, Ibrahim, you have a wife
but you're not married.

Yes, but to me she is my wife.

She's expecting my baby.

His family and mine
have no idea we're together.

They want Ibra to marry
a girl from his village.

I ran away from home
when I was 18 years old.

They wanted to marry me off
to a man 30 years older than me.

And because they wanted
to cut her before marrying her.

My cousin decided to come to Spain.

As you know,
he's received several death threats.

On the journey
he passed off as my husband.

And he saved my life many times over.

And now he's come up with...

He's come up with
the idea we get married.

So that my baby and I can get papers.

When I got to Spain, I was...

I was working for a year as a seasonal
worker in Huelva and Almería.

I came to Madrid after.

I have done all sorts here.

I worked for my food and bed.

I lived on the streets
for three months begging

until I found a job at the company
where I work now.

The foreman is very happy with me.

They pay me very little, but I'm patient.

Hard work doesn't scare me.

Ibra's father died when he was a boy.

Also his older brother
died four years ago.

He's the head of his family,
at 25 years old.

We all come to Europe to try
and help our families.

And we're doing the jobs
many Spanish won't do.

So why do they arrest us?

- What harm are we doing?
- Mariama, listen to me.

We have to concentrate now
on how to help Ibrahim.

The sad truth is
that to stop his expulsion

he has to prove his social
and family roots here.

And you're not married.

Nor is Ibrahim registered.

And we can't really say
he has a job

because he's working
with someone else's papers.

Look, we can't...

Answer it.

Yes?

Who's this?

Hello, are you Mariama?

- Yes.
- I'm Rodrigo García, Ibrahim's lawyer.

It's some lawyer
who's spoken to Ibra.

Put him on speakerphone,
tell him you're with me.

Hello, Sir. Yes,
I'm putting you on speakerphone.

I'm here with my lawyer.
One moment.

Hello, I'm Elena Jiménez,
the lawyer of Ibrahim's wife.

Hello, Elena, I'm Rodrigo García,
the assigned legal aid lawyer.

Hello.

Have the police initiated
deportation procedures?

Yes, for preferential expulsion.
And they've requested the IRC.

Right, just what I feared.

Rodrigo, can you meet up
this afternoon, please?

Yes, of course.

Elena. Ibrahim told me
his partner's pregnant.

It's an argument
against deportation.

If we today get a doctor's
accreditation of the certificate,

I can file
the appeal tomorrow.

- I don't think it will do much good.
- Why not?

They aren't married and she could
be pregnant by someone else.

A judge would argue.

And, she doesn't have papers either
and she can't feature in the paper work.

We can't risk exposing her.

Look, let me take down your number and
I'll call to prepare the appeal, alright?

- Ok, perfect. See you later.
- See you later.

Ma'am,

I'd take the risk

if it might help Ibrahim.

You could take the risk.

But it's not just you anymore.

The solution he's given you is better.

Marry your cousin

to get your papers
and your child's.

And in a year you can request
your Spanish Nationality.

And then you'll be in a legal situation

to be able to help Ibrahim.

Without papers you can't do anything.

Mind your head.

How long have you been in Spain?

Two and a half years.

- What did you say your name was?
- Ibrahim.

Ibrahim. Look, it's simple.

Don't get into trouble,
behave and watch the days go by.

Remember your number?

Yes, Sir. 723.

Okay, very good.
That's what's important.

From four to eight
you can use your mobile.

Ask one of your companions
to tell you when you can pick it up. Go.

That bed in the far end is yours.

- Where are you from brother?
- Mali.

From Mali?

Ousman.
Your new neighbor.

- I'm, Brice. Brice Kameni.
- Ibrahim Touré.

- Pleasure.
- Pleasure.

Hello, I'm Ousman.

I know it's not the best place
to say it, but welcome.

Come with me.

The rude black man, who's pretending
to be asleep is James, he's Nigerian.

Do you see? He has no sense of humor,
and he snores at night.

Those two over there are from Senegal.

They're brothers.

The same thing happened to us.

Two fucking years to get to Europe
and they want to deport us.

God damn it.

Shut up, brother. Shut up.

In five minutes
you must leave your rooms

and go to the communal areas.

I repeat, in five minutes
you must leave your rooms.

Leave your things.
We have to go.

We can come back after dinner.

Mariama. Mariama.

It's Ibra, he's calling.

Go.

Ibra.

Hi, my love.

How are you?

Are they treating you OK?

Yes, but I can't believe
this is happening to me.

Me neither.

They make us feel like
we aren't real people.

It's not fair, Ibra.

One of my roommates,
Ousman,

has been here for six months
and he's going back.

Drives you crazy.

Ibra, it hurts to hear you say that.

I know, Mariama,
but I don't want you to suffer.

I can't help it.

I know, my love.

What do yo need?

Clean clothes, my charger...

I'm using my roommate Ousman's.

And top up my phone card.

My cousin will come tomorrow
and bring you everything.

Ibra, the lawyer doesn't want me
to go and see you.

Mariama, it's dangerous.

We can speak by phone
every day.

Listen to me.

Just because I'm locked up in here
doesn't mean I'll be expelled.

And if they expel me,
I swear I'll be back any way I can.

I'm going to be a father
and this gives me strength.

And luck.

Yes, Ibra.

Our baby will bring us good luck.

Let's have faith
all will turn out well.

I have to go.

I love you.

I love you.

Carmela, I'm sorry.

Don't worry, it's OK.

Hello. I'm Elena Jiménez,
the association's lawyer.

- Hi.
- Please, sit.

Ibrahim, I'm sorry,
but we don't bring good news.

The fresh appeal we presented
was rejected by the judge.

He's rejected it.

We're looking for new grounds
to use but we can't guarantee anything.

Let's see.

The only thing which would solve
Mariama's and your child's future

is if she marries her cousin.

This, would benefit you in the long run.

If your child has Spanish nationality

then your chances would be higher.

But if Mariama and your child
don't have papers,

all bets are off.

How long would all of this be for?

Three years from them getting married.

You can't do anything before.

If they deport you, you can't come back
to Spain for between three to ten years.

And if you slipped back in

you'd be committing a crime
and expulsion would be immediate.

Does the justice system condemn a child
to be kept from his father for so long.

Indirectly, yes.

That's not justice.

And there's no will to change it.

Anyways, Mariama,
asked us to tell you

she's willing to take the risk
if by doing so we prevent your expulsion.

- And could it be prevented?
- Impossible to know.

And the risk is very high, Ibrahim.

Ibra, what did your lawyer say?

He told me I was being expelled
and I didn't know what to do.

We have to think of our trip back.

Those two already have it all organized.

Guys, Ibrahim is also screwed.

Us two, as soon as they kick us out,
we're coming back.

I've spoken to a good friend.

He's going to find us a place to stay
before heading back.

Nobody can know we've been sent back.

Anyone seeing family?

I have no desire to see my family.

Do you want me to die of shame?

I don't want fingers pointed at me
like a loser in my hood.

And what are you going to do?

If we come back to Spain,
our problems will not have finished.

A lawyer said, if I return,
I'd be committing a serious crime,

unable to return to Spain
for three to ten years.

My lawyer mentioned the same thing.

The Europeans didn't ask for permission
to go to Africa.

I don't need papers.

Ousman, what's wrong?

Are you sick?

No.

But I feel terrible in here.

I had a nightmare.

A cop was saying: "Go".

And I went out on the street
and I was afraid.

Very afraid.

Why, if they let you go?

Because I didn't know anyone.

I was alone and had no money.

There was no one on the street.

I tried to move,
but I couldn't manage to.

My legs wouldn't move.

Attention.

The following inmates should go urgently
to the office on the first floor.

572, 588...

That's me.

... 592, 599,

- 603...
- That's mine.

... 723...

Number?

Ibrahim Touré.

Please,
I asked for your number.

Ibrahim Touré.

723.

Very well. Ibrahim Touré Bah.

Repatriated tonight
to the country of origin

on a flight scheduled for 1:30 am.

You may take your belongings,
your medical report

and your expulsion notice.

Be ready four hours before.

Sign here to confirm
you've been duly informed.

No, I'm not going to sign something
I haven't read.

Do you read Spanish?

I know my rights.

There should be a translator
or a lawyer

to explain what we're signing.

You're asking to much.

Are you signing, yes or no?

Put he's refusing to sign.

Do you want to take the notification?

Take it.

Your lawyer is going to ask for it.

Thank you, Sir.

No problem.
That's why we are here.

Next.

- Number.
- 588.

Hello, my love. How are you?

Fine.

Are you working today?

I came earlier and I just got back.

I wasn't feeling well.

But I'm feeling better.

First pregnancy and all that.

How are you?

Why have you gone all quiet?

What's wrong, Ibra?

The flight leaves tonight.

Don't say that.

It's not fair.

It's not fair.

You're a good man.
You haven't done anything wrong?

Mariama, my love, relax.

Now we have to think
about what we're going to do

Listen to me.

I want to ask a favor.

Help my family.

Send them money,
whatever you can and when you can.

Don't worry about that,
I'll send money every month.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Anything that happens in Spain
ends up in Africa.

I don't want my mother to suffer.

If anyone asks about me,
tell them I went to work in France.

I'll say that.

No one will know.

And, I've been thinking,
the best thing is

to do what your lawyer said.

Marry your cousin.

Get your papers and the baby's,
and don't wait.

What are you saying, Ibra?

You are my husband.
I'll wait however long it takes.

I don't want you worrying whether I'm
coming back or if something has happened.

Ibrahim.

If I was the one expelled,
would you wait for me?

No, I wouldn't wait.

I'd go looking for you wherever.

So why do you think your love
is greater than mine?

Why do you think your courage
is greater than mine?

No, Mariama, I don't think that.

Ibrahim Touré,

your my husband

and I'm having a child with you.

From today
until we're together again,

I'll be waiting for you, do you hear me?

Yes, I hear you.

And sorry for what I said earlier.

I don't care about Spain or Europe.

But I'll do whatever I can
to be back with my family.

And I'll pray for you.

And with God's help
we'll be reunited again soon.

Come on, this way, let's go.

Let's go.

We're not terrorists or murderers.

We are innocent men!

Silence! Silence!

Shut up
or you return on the flight sleeping!

Come on, let's go, get in!

NADOR, MOROCCO. THREE MONTHS LATER.

Let's go!

Let's go! Get down, hurry up!

Let's go! Get down, hurry up!

Where are we?

What does that matter?

I think we have the right
to know where we are.

Nador, we're in Nador.

End of the journey.

And now get inside.

Let's go.

Listen to me.

It's forbidden to leave.

And everyone must be silent.

If the police come, you all know
what will happen. Are we clear?

Sir.

Could you bring us some food?

Impossible.

Now rest

and silence.

We haven't eaten in days.

When you get to Spain,

they'll give you plenty
of chicken and rice.

It's best not to eat,
if we're getting on that boat tonight.

Or somewhere we can wash at least,
there are women here who need to.

Who said you could talk?

They only need a little water
and somewhere to wash.

Do any of you know her?

She's our sister.

If I hear her talking again,

I'll cut her tongue off.

Are we clear?

Good.

Things have changed.
The police are watching the coast.

No boats can go out,
except mine.

This costs more money,

two hundred euros more per person.

Two hundred euros for what?

It's not my fault.

The money's not for me.

Shitty moor...

Sir, this wasn't the deal.
It's not what we discussed.

If you don't want to pay,

you can leave.

The police are dying,
to hunt down Africans

to return to Algeria.

We've already paid a lot of money.

Please, understand.

I'm not going to negotiate.

But I'll do you a favor.

One hundred euros.

Sir, even if we gave you all our things
I don't think we'd reach 100 euros.

Please, I ask you as a Muslim. Don't take
the little we have left away from us.

I understand Arabic.

- Do you speak Arabic?
- Yes.

I'm going to make you a price.

One thousand euros.

One hundred euros?

Brother,

I said one thousand euros
between you all it's my last offer.

And now, rest.

Tomorrow you're going to Europe.

Pray for me in Spain.

Son of a bitch.

I don't trust them.

Let's get our money back
and leave.

He'll never give us our money back.

He'd report us to the police.

We must have faith.

If we've made it here,
God will help us get across.

The boat isn't safe. It will sink.

Ousman, don't get on it.
There's a hole.

- Mamadou, get out of there.
- I'm getting on.

Damn blacks.
Why aren't you on the boat?

The boat will sink.

- Get on there right now.
- No.

We're not getting on.

Go on, get out of here!

You've blown your chance.

If I see you again,

I'll kill you.

Police are on their way.
They'll take you to the hospital.

Get up.

Come with us!

Hurry up, come with us!

Let's rest here.

What do we do now?

Try and find someone
to help us get him to hospital.

If we take him to hospital,
all three of us will be arrested.

You want to leave him here?

What happened?

Our friend is in a very bad state.
He has to go to hospital.

This man is dead.

If the police come,
they'll arrest you all,

and possibly have them
pin the death on you.

We can't leave him here.
He needs a burial.

I'll let the police know.

I have a family member in the police.

They'll come to pick him up
and they'll take him to be buried.

I promise.

They're used to collecting bodies
from the beach.

I can take you all to a Migrant Center
run by some Spanish nuns.

They'll help you.

Hello.

I'm Sister Marisa
and she's Doctor Lourdes.

Welcome.

You speak French, don't you?

I also speak Spanish.

Fantastic.

Are any of you injured?

No, we're fine.

Our good friend Khalil
has told us what happened to you.

If you like you can come in to wash
and have something to eat.

But it's urgent you tell us

how many people there were on the boat
and in which direction.

We have to warn
the Maritime Rescue in Spain.

The traffickers never mentioned
where we were heading.

Around 30 people.

From the area where I picked you up,

they head
for Granada or Almería.

Did anyone have a phone?

Yes, yes, our friend Mamadou.

I have his number,
but I have no battery left.

Don't worry.
Come with me, please, this way.

Sister Inés.

Sister Inés, please,
accompany the girl to the ladies room.

and giver her some clean clothes
to change into.

Come, come, come.

Thank you very much.

If I had some money
I'd pay you for the trouble.

Kind-hearted Khalil
doesn't need to be paid.

My eldest son left on a boat
off the same beach.

A little further east.

Sixty people.

None made it to Spain.

They never got his body back.

I gave him the money for the voyage.

I'm very sorry.

Bye, Khalil, thank you for everything.
God bless you.

You too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

He's a good Muslim.
A good Moroccan.

Yes, he certainly is.

Come, follow me, please.

I got you this too.

I hope it fits okay.

Thank you.

And now, what will you do?

We'll go to the forest,
to Mount Gurugú camps.

Have you been there before?

No.

Go to the camp of boss Aboubacar.

He's a good boss and he'll welcome you.
I'll call him.

We have our differences,
but we understand each other.

And what will the young lady do?

She wants to come with us
to Mount Gurugú.

To do what in Gurugú?

Climb the fence.

She's very stubborn.

She won't change her mind.

You're going to have to train a lot.

If he can do it, I can do it.

In 2014, when I was in Melilla,
a young girl like you did it.

She was called Mirelle.

She was 15 and from Cameroon.

As far as I know she's the only one
who's got over.

So you could be the second.

I'm going to prepare
for your departure.

Sister, there's a favor
I want to ask.

Of course.

I want to call my wife.
I have my phone. Could I?

Of course, of course.

Here is the wifi information.
Do you have a charger?

Yes, yes.

Thank you.

Don't you all want to call
your families?

No. My family doesn't know
I was expelled from Spain.

But, Sister.

If it's possible a little more food...

Of course, of course.

You already know the way. You don't
need me to take you, right?

Thank you, Sister.

And you?

I don't have family.

My parents died when I was little girl.

My siblings and I were divided out
between my father's sisters.

I got the eldest one.

Don't you want to call to...?

No, I'd rather they think I'm dead.

They didn't treat you well?

My aunt's husband.

The most evil man I've ever known,
worse than a monster.

He sold me like a slave
without anyone knowing and I escaped.

I want to go as far away as possible.

I'm sorry about your parents
and everything you've told me.

If there is anything
I can help you with.

I'm here for that.

Thank you, ma'am.

Mariama!

It's Ibra!

Hey, Ibra.

- How are you? Where are you?
- I'm fine.

We're in a Migrant Centre
in Nador.

They're Spanish.
They're helping us.

When does the boat leave?

I can't sleep over it.

Ibra, what's wrong?

I want you to tell me the truth.

Not knowing scares me more.

I don't want to scare you,
but the boat was in a terrible state.

It was too dangerous
and so we didn't get on.

The traffickers are refusing
to give us our money back.

I'm sorry, Mariama.

No, my love, don't say sorry.

You didn't get on the boat
because it's what you had to do.

Your life is worth more.

I'll work more
and I'll ask for a money loan.

No, Mariama.
I don't want you to send me more money.

Keep it for yourself and the baby.
In a few months you won't be working.

- And who's going to look after you?
- Don't worry about that.

I won't be alone.

My cousin, Fodé, Carmela,
Asma, the Association...

They're all helping me.

But you, without any money,
what are you going to do?

We are going
to Mount Gurugú camps.

Those camps are hell on earth!

I know, but it's the only place
for us to hide from the police.

We're jumping
the Melilla border fence.

It's very dangerous, Ibra.

Our lives are in the hands of God.

He decides if getting over the fence
is the way for us back to Spain.

Boss, the new brothers have arrived.

This is Ibrahim,

Ousman

and Aminata, the jumper.

Welcome to our camp.

From sister Marisa.

Yes, she called me.

Sit.

She even told me our young sister
want to jump the fence.

You're very brave.

I'm not brave.
It's my only chance.

She told me
you have plenty of fire in you.

But if you cause any problems
with the men here,

I'll have to send you to the women.

You won't have any problems with me, Boss.

I can do the work any man can

and I can take care of myself.

Alright then.

You two got your asses
kicked out of Spain.

It happened to me too, in Italy,
a year and three months ago.

There are people deported
from all over Europe in this camp.

But we don't care, we'll make it back.

God willing.

We have few rules in the camp,
but they're sacred.

You don't leave the camp
without permission from the Boss,

no stealing from comrades
and no talking to the Moroccan Police.

Stealing is punished by expulsion
and the penalty for a snitch, is death.

Any of you speak Spanish?

Yes, me.

Can you also read?

A little.

Seydou talks Spanish,
but doesn't know how to read.

We have friends in Melilla who send us
very important information in Spanish

and we need people who can read it.

We'll talk about it later.

Seydou, take them to Mouctar's ghetto.

There is room for them there.

Let's go.

Thanks for taking us in.

It's not me who's taking you in.

It's the forest,

the land of the clandestine.
Welcome.

The police caught them
when they went looking for food.

They beat them up quite badly.

Some people in the city
keep reporting us to the police.

In the camp you have to stay alert
and ready to run away fast.

The Alís, the Moroccan police,
can arrive at any moment.

They like hitting us on the elbows,
knees and joints

so we can't scale the fence.

And those arrested, you know,

end up back in Algeria's desert.

Wait. What did he say?

He says the police come here

and brake their elbows and knees
so the can't climb the fence.

Let's go.

This is our great Doctor, Mouctar.

Your ghetto's Boss.

Seydou, stop teasing me.

I'm not a doctor,

I just patch up the wounds.

The healer of the tribe.

Whatever he says, we do.

There, Antoine,

the cook.

Seydou.

Is she staying too?

Yes.

Yes, Boss Abou decided.

Welcome.

Thank you.

You can build your shack
next to that tree.

Do you have any money?

Some, not much.

Contribute.

Tomorrow we have to go
and buy food.

And you?

Sleeping where?

Come and sleep with me.

She's our sister on this journey
and she's staying with us.

That's settled then.
Nothing more to add.

Hurry up. Build your bunker
before it's too late. Let's go.

Is that Melilla?

Yes.

The nearest part is Morocco.

And there, where you see the sea,
it's Melilla.

Melilla is like a beautiful woman.

A dream.

The gateway to Europe
of which we'll walk through soon.

Freedom.

Boza!

Freedom!

Boza!

Freedom!

Boza!

Freedom!

Boza!

Freedom!

Boza!

Freedom!

Boza!

Freedom!

Good morning, Ibra.

You're going with Seydou and Drissa
to a call-shop in Beni Enzar

to collect money sent
by families of several brothers

to buy the iron for the hooks
and start to prepare to jump the fence.

When will it be?

It's still not decided,

but soon.

For now, go in separately
so as to not draw attention, alright?

They'll get the money
and buy SIM cards for the phones.

You wait for them
and grab the SIM cards and phones.

And you come back separately.

Take these phones with you.

If the police catch you, you tell them
you're there for your phones.

If they chase you, you can lose phones,
but not the money and the passports.

All right? Understood?

Understood.

Understood.

You're very agile!

Here.

If you want to train, use this.
This is what we use to jump with.

When will that be?

Soon.

- You'll find out on the day.
- Why?

The Alís have ears everywhere,
understand?

Boss?

Is it true you were a cook
in your country?

Yes, I was a good cook.

And what will you do in Spain?

I'll try be a cook and maybe one day
have my own restaurant.

And you?

Study nursing.

Being as stubborn as you are,
I'm sure you'll succeed.

I have no doubt about it.

Come on, let's work.

The number.

And a SIM card for the phone.

Look.

If we get rice,
I'll make you an incredible mafé.

Ousman.

Wait. Take this.

- I'll try my luck begging.
- No, no. They'll call the police.

With this face, do you really think
they'll call the police?

For charity, brother.

For charity, brother.
I'm a good Muslim.

- Get out of here.
- Please, brother.

Go or I call the police.

Ibra!

Let's go!

Ousman!

No is no.
Don't you understand?

Do you want people in the village
to lynch us?

Drissa and Seydou are already there.

Ibra!

We're going the fountain way.

You, go up via the camps.

That's much further, no?

But safer.

Safer?

Good luck, and may God help you.

What did those two say?

Nothing. Come on, let's go.
We have to walk all day.

Some police were waiting for Seydou
and Drissa to rob them of the money.

The man from the call-shop
was an accomplice with them.

We should take him to hospital.

No!

No hospitals.

Relax, you're going nowhere.

You're a warrior
and you strength will heal you.

Shout if it hurts.

May your screams reach Europe.

So they know we won't give up,

resisting until our moment.

And when will that be?

Soon.

Very soon.

Pass it, pass it!

Look, look.

- The kid has golden feet.
- Leave him!

That's my champion! Look, look.

Look, he knows how to dribble the ball.

Kid, finish the game!

Make the pass, what's that?

- Who's that?
- The Boss from the Marfileño's ghetto.

The ones from the other side
of the mountain.

Let's see what they say.
What are they waiting for.

Look, look. That's my hero.
That's it.

That's my boy!

Champion, champion!

You're good, kid.

You master the ball.

You master the ball.

I'm going to represent him.

Yes, kid! I'm going to represent you!

So good!

Hello, Ibra.

Fodé, what's happening?
Where's Mariama?

What's happened?

Congratulations, Dad,
you have a beautiful girl!

Hi, Ibra!

This is your daughter, Adama.

What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?

Are you okay?
Is she healthy? Is anything wrong?

Is she normal?

No. She's black, hairy and has a tale
coming out of her ass.

Shut up.
Stop talking nonsense.

Of course she's normal.

She's perfect.

She weighs 3.7 kilos.

- And is that normal?
- How do I know if it's normal?

Yes, it's normal.

Congratulations, Mum!

Thank you, Ousman.

Fodé, please.
Take a photo and send it to me.

Okay.

I want to save this memory
of my two women.

Are your wife and daughter okay?

Yes, they're both fine.

When I left three years ago,
my wife was pregnant too.

I have a son I don't know.

Only from photos.

If I make it into Spain,
I'll take three more years

to get my papers.

With luck,

I'll meet him
when he's seven or eight.

What are you doing?

We volunteered to bring
some food and water.

Is that the fence?

No, "the fence" is four fences.

The first one is the Moroccan fence.

Then there is a ditch.

It's three meters deep
in some places.

When we get past it,

the Moroccan Police
will be waiting for us.

They can crack your skull open
and remain quite unmoved.

The other three fences
are the Spanish ones.

You have to get over all four fences
in less than eight minutes,

before the Spanish border
guards arrive.

If caught, back to Morocco.

And then the Alís take their revenge.

They kick
and beat you with sticks.

Then, they throw you out of Morocco.

Shit.
I've been expelled three times now.

What if they don't catch you?

Run as fast as you can
until you reach the CETI.

It's a centre for arrivals
to Melilla by fence or sea.

Yes. We'll remain in the CETI

until the Government
either hands us to them

or send us to Spain.

I'm going closer.
I can't see.

What? Boss Abou
told us to stay here.

He said to guard it,
nothing about getting closer.

Ousman, coming?

Yes, let's go.

You stay with Mouctar.

We'll pass from there.

The cameras are spaced out
and the ditch seems shallower.

Hard soil,
means they haven't dug.

If we attack from there,
we can hide among the shrubs

and we can gain a few seconds.

We have to figure out how long it takes
the Spanish guards to get to us.

We're just missing time and date.

We have to go.

Come on, let's go.

We'll have five to eight minutes
to get through.

Boss, we have all the information.
We just have to choose a time and day.

It's fifteen days for New Year's.

It's a very special day
for the Spaniards.

Parties, families, alcohol,
no desire for any kind of problem.

I think it's the best day to jump.

- Is there enough time to prepare?
- There'll have to be.

I don't want to spend the rest
of the winter in this damn forest.

Do you?

No.

With the other three Boss' from the camp

we've decided to change strategy.

We're not all jumping together.

We're going to jump over
from different places.

The Marfileños will go first

to draw in the Moroccan Police
and the Spanish.

Immediately after, we attack and,
after, the Cameroonians.

Water! Water!

Why wasn't the alarm sounded?

No warning.
They came via the Marfileños.

Let's go! Run!

Hide in the mountains!

Grab what you can!

May god protect you!

Ibra, run! Run!

- The police is coming!
- Aminata!

- Aminata!
- Grab this!

- What? No!
- Run!

Seydou, take her!

- Ousman, hurry up!
- Let's go!

I've broken my leg!

It got caught.

- Did you hurt anything else?
- No.

- Hold on, hold on.
- It hurts!

- Where's Aminata?
- Don't know.

I thought she was behind me, but...

Ibra! Ibra!

Aminata is hurt.
The Alís beat her.

Why didn't you bring her?

She didn't want to.
She wanted you to go.

Don't worry about me.
Go find her!

There.

Ibra, don't let anyone know.

Did anyone see her?

No, I don't think so.

Make sure no one finds out.

They took my clothes off.

I'll find your clothes.

I'll take care of you.

I'll take her to get something to eat.

We'll take you back to the camps later.

There are still to many police
on the look out.

Doctor, how did she look to you?

She must have suffered a great deal.

Cut women suffer much more
while being raped.

We'll have to wait weeks
to check for other results.

Most of the pregnant women
you see here

are because of being raped,

and not exactly
by the Moroccan Police either.

Do you understand?

Come.

How are you, little one?
Are you well?

You're very pretty.

- Ousman.
- Yes?

- How are you?
- Good. I don't even need these.

- How's your foot?
- I'll heal.

- The more we are, the better.
- Understood.

- Count me in.
- Okay.

Ousman, what'll you do
if you get to Spain?

I'm going to find work in a gym.

I'm good at all sports, for sure.

- Ousman.
- Yes?

- Will you be my manager?
- Don't worry.

When we get to Spain,
I'll get you a tryout.

You can't wait to get to Spain?

But, my friend,
we'll achieve it.

With this kid we'll be millionaires.
Do you understand?

Aminata!

For you.

Well, say something.

Don't stay quiet like a fool.

When I get to Spain,
I'll spoil her.

I'll give her anything
she asks of me.

I'm sure you will.

The next time we speak,

will be from Spain.

But, Ibra, I met a girl yesterday.

She told me her brother had drowned
on a boat that sunk.

I think it was your boat.
Did you know this, Ibra?

Yes, but I didn't tell you
so I'd not scare you.

God has given us a second chance.

Please, don't risk your life.

I'd rather you take longer
than not ever see you again.

That won't happen.

It won't happen because your faith
will help me with my leap.

I love you very much, Mariama.

I love you a lot.

Bye, my love.

I'm jumping. I'm jumping.

Brothers,

those who go first
will have to be the strongest.

They will be the first to receive
blows by the guards.

If you feel afraid
don't go in the front.

Those at the back shouldn't think
they won't get over either.

Only God knows who will make it.

Including the other camps and ourselves
we're over one hundred.

The guards are far fewer,

but we must not confront them.

This will only add to their rage.

They will be cruel and violent.

We have to stay united,

one man, one giant,

and this will make them afraid
and doubt.

That small moment of doubt

will be the perfect moment

to jump the wall and reach Melilla.

We will sacrifice ourselves
for our brothers

and remember that thanks
to this sacrifice

we will make it.

Now, my brothers,

let's pray, each to our God,

to guide us on our road
to find Europe.

We invite our brother Ousman

to say some words
for our Christian brothers.

We ask you Allah,
by the grace of his son Mohamed,

to protect us from those guards

and of the blades
that wound and mutilate us.

We ask Jesus,

the humble one, the persecuted one,

to help us across without being arrested

and be sent back
like animals and delinquents.

We ask Allah,

by the grace of Mohamed,

the liberator,

to protect those who don't make it.

We ask Jesus,

the crucified, the martyred,

that the suffering of each brother

be the light and hope

for those who follow behind.

Are you scared?

Yes.

Yes.

Me too.

Let's go, it's time.

Do you know the first thing I'll do
when I get to Spain?

I'll buy myself an ice-cream.

What flavor would you like?

Chocolate and vanilla.

That's good.

The Marfileños are ready.

May God help us. Good luck.

Good luck.

And a dress?

Would you like that?

Yes, very much so.

Aminata, hurry up!

Aminata!

Ousman!

Hurry up! Hurry up, Abou!

Aminata, climb!

Now you. Hurry up.

Here, hold on.

Aminata!

Let's go!

- What happened?
- Nothing. Go!

- Ousman, what's wrong?
- Nothing.

I'm sorry, brother. I'm sorry.

My foot!

And Ousman?
Where is Ousman?

I don't know.

What do we do?
There are lots of police!

Let's go!

Let's go, let's go!

Let's go.

Ibrahim!

Aminata!

Ibrahim!

Ibrahim! Boza!

Aminata! Boza!

Ibrahim! Boza!

Boza!

Ousman!

Don't give up, brother!
You'll get through next time!

Don't give up, brother!

Ousman!

Ousman!

Ousman!

No! There is nothing you can do.

There's nothing we can do.

Let's get out of here, my friend.

We did it! We're in Spain!

FROM 2014 TO AUGUST 2023,
OVER 27,000 PEOPLE

LOST THEIR LIVES OR DISAPPEARED
TRYING TO CROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN.

HOWEVER, IT IS CALCULATED THAT UNTIL 2050
SOME 60 MILLION IMMIGRANTS

WILL BE NEEDED TO REJUVENATE
THE POPULATION OF EUROPE.

TO THOSE WHO DIED ON THE JOURNEY

TO THOSE WHO ARRIVED

TO THOSE WHO WELCOMED THEM
WITH OPEN ARMS
