Un regard intime sur les vies des migrants d’Afrique subsaharienne qui vivent dans les montagnes au nord du Maroc. La plupart d’entre eux rêvent d’aller en Europe en franchissant la barrière hautement militarisée de Melilla, enclave espagnole sur le continent africain. Mais ces migrants subissent une violence extrême de la part des autorités marocaines et espagnoles. Il examine également de nombreuses questions universelles telles que comment et pourquoi certaines personnes sont prêtes à tout risquer pour quitter leur pays, leur famille et leurs amis et partir à la recherche d’une vie meilleure.

THE LAND BETWEEN offers an intimate insight into the hidden lives of Sub-Saharan African migrants living in the mountains of northern Morocco. For most, their dream is to enter Europe by jumping a highly-militarized barrier into Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the African continent.

With unique and unprecedented access, this film documents the everyday life of these migrants trapped in limbo, as well as the extreme violence and constant mistreatment they face from both the Moroccan and Spanish authorities. It also explores many universal questions, including how and why people are prepared to risk everything, including their life, to leave their country, their family and friends, in search of a new and better life.
