Mother’s crossing

The film tells the moving story of an Iranian woman and her two daughters on the run for their violent husband and father. A people smuggler takes them on a dangerous journey trough the marshlands that separate Turkey from Greece. At four o’clock in the morning Rojanne (11) – who cannot walk – is literally carried across the European border on the back of the smuggler. The documentary contains exclusive footage filmed by the smugglers themselves. It shows how they hide for the police – inflate their rubber boat – and paddle across the border river in almost complete darkness.
