film FREEDOM : Le Destin de Shewit de Anne-Frédérique Widmann
Overview
Intro
The Fate of Shewit by Anne-Frédérique Widmann
Synopsis: To escape oppression and a past that haunts her, Shewit flees Eritrea, risking her life. At the age of 15, after being held captive by human traffickers in Libya, she finally reaches Switzerland, the country in which she places all her hopes. But seven years later, she still does not have a residence permit, and her fate remains in the hands of the authorities. A migrant living on borrowed time, threatened with deportation, Shewit perseveres and fights to realize her dream: to become a free woman. A struggle for her emancipation, filmed over the course of ten years. Eliane Ruckstuhl, who will participate in the discussion following the screening, is none other than the camerawoman who filmed Shewit and who, over the years, has become a true confidante and a second mother to her. Free admission / Reservations on cinesion.ch starting August 18 / Donations accepted at the door and an Eritrean reception
