2nd Anniversary of a Zone Within the Eurozone

This April marks just over two years since the Eurozone decided that people seeking asylum arriving undocumented on the Greek islands of the Aegean would be sent back to Turkey. On the island of Lesvos a few days ago this second anniversary was marked by fascists yelling "Burn them alive" as they attacked asylum seekers consisting of entire families peacefully protesting in Sappho Square, By chance two years ago this month we arrived and began filming . This short video made from clips taken from NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL is intended to mark in our own way this 2nd anniversary. The short video is accompanied by a selection from the music composed for the film by François Moutin and his brother Louis Moutin and played by the Moutin Factory Quintet.
