Anna Knappe (Finland/Norway) – Three Ways to Escape – Mohajer, I (Amir), 2012, 07:08
Three ways to Escape tells the story of three Afghan men who have applied asylum from Finland. The first video is about Amir, who has received a residence permit, the second about Reza, who is waiting deportation in a detention center and the last one is about Hadi, who is waiting for his asylum decision and info about his future in a refugee reception center. The three intertwined stories illustrate the randomness of asylum processes and the the atmosphere in the reception centers, where time seems to have frozen.
