Three people leave their homes and end up in Namibia. In the short film “Move”, they reflect upon migration, European double standards and imbalances of power.
“Some people are asking, what are these immigrants from villages doing here? They are searching for a better life” – Gerson Josea
Three very different interview partners, united by the common subject migration:
Gerson Josea moved from rural Northern Namibia to the city. He started a family and did not return to his village for decades.
Dr. Kagiso Moloi left his home South Africa for Windhuk over 10 years ago. Today, he and his wife are running a successful dental practice.
Christian Mahnke, political scientist from Berlin, has lived in Namibia for over ten years and has taken roots there.
In the short film “Move”, they all talk about their migratory experiences. They talk about reasons for migrating, prejudices and global imbalances of power, and offer a critical analysis of these topics.
Short Film Program: “People in Motion” – Why do People leave their Homes? What Paths do they Take?
In cooperation with local partners, the FES international offices produced a short film program that deals with these questions. The films are available on our TOPIC pages “Flight, Migration, Integration”. Please feel free to use them for your own events.
