EINHUNDERTVIER
Deutschland 2023 – Director: Jonathan Schörnig – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 93 min.
104 refugees, 80 minutes, 6 cameras shooting in parallel. This sea rescue in real-time unfolds over a gruellingly long period of time. Eventually all the refugees from the overloaded, rapidly deflating dinghy are on board the “Eleonore”. Meticulously documented and told entirely from the point of view of the rescue team, this film demonstrates the urgency of humanitarian operations in the Mediterranean. Maren Willkomm
