Document 11: Migration Programme

The only dedicated international human rights documentary festival in Scotland returns for its eleventh outing with a host of exciting screenings, panels, workshops, music and events. Taking place at CCA from Fri 18 to Sun 20 October, this year's programme focuses on reflection and tension between the past and present.

Diarios de Frontera
Diarios de Frontera explores life on the border with Europe from three points of view African immigrants attempting to reach Spain from the enclave of Ceuta. The director intertwines old family images, the reality of present day Ceuta and life in the woods of the African immigrants trying to enter Europe. It is a story made of steel fences where everyone is locked in and locked out.

The Last Resident of Red Road
Built in 1967, the Red Road flats in Glasgow were once home to over 4500 people. Now most of the blocks have been emptied and demolition has already begun. Jamal Hamad, a failed Iraqi Kurdish asylum seeker, has lived alone in one block for several months. The demolition company are keen to move on with the demolition preparation but Jamal is refusing to move. If he does move out, he fears eviction from the UK- and if he returns to his homeland, as instructed by the UK Border Agency, he believes he will be killed- just like his parents and brothers several years ago. Living in the block alone is dangerous; but Jamal has no other choice.
