Deportation Class

They come in the night, they snatch families from their sleep and put them on a plane: so-called Zuführkommandos of police and foreigners authorities deported 25,000 asylum seekers from Germany last year. During the Bundestag election campaign, Angela Merkel also called for a "national show of strength" to crack down even harder. But what does a deportation actually mean? And what does it do to the men, women and children who are deported? The award-winning cinema documentary DEPORTATION CLASS paints the first comprehensive picture of state deportations in Germany: from the detailed planning at the desk to the nightly operations in the accommodations of the "repatriates" to their arrival in their home country - and the thorny question of what awaits them there.
