Welcome to Paradise

Follows African migrants in Morocco risking sea and patrols for a perilous journey to Europe. Welcome to Paradise. opens a window into the hearts of a small group of African would-be emigrants, waiting on the beach in Morocco for a boat that will take them to a new life in Europe. As we shelter with them in the darkness, we hear of the cruelty, misfortune and grinding poverty which has compelled them here, to pit themselves against the dangers of the sea and the coastguards who patrol it. Tense, dramatic and blackly compassionate, Welcome to Paradise. is a striking tale of human desperation and of the media-fuelled fantasies of Western life that hold a fatal allure.
