What rights do immigrants have? This film follows two migrants from Africa, ND & NT, respectively who travel from Mali & Ivory Coast in 2014, & join 500 others to illegally cross the border from Morocco to Spain. However, the border police mete out a violent pushback against them. This film begs the question - was it right for the security forces to treat the migrants this way?
