The clips are from a video that was developed as part of Eurodac Express, an ongoing innovative and politically charged project initiated by Futuresonic in Manchester. Shahidul Alam will travel overland to and through the frontiers of Fortress Europe - travelling through the forests of Russian, across Poland, entering Europe and crossing its internal borders - tracing the route that migrants and refugees take. During this journey he will work with the refugees he meets on his way to explore the context that led them to leave their homes and that they find upon arrival in Europe, in order to challenge some of the stereotypes that have emerged of "bogus" asylum seekers and facilitate a re-examination of notions of belonging, citizenship and displacement amongst the diverse communities in Europe.
