Beaten Back

Synopsis

Migrants from Syria and Afghanistan face significant dangers while traversing the Balkan Route through Serbia, as highlighted in "Beaten Back." The film documents the increasing violence and hostility from border guards enforcing stringent migration policies amid the ongoing European refugee crisis. Personal accounts from individuals fleeing conflict reveal the dire circumstances that drive them to seek safety and asylum. Through interviews and on-the-ground footage, the documentary examines the broader implications of these migration policies on civil liberties and the human cost of political decisions during a time of crisis.
