Those Who Jump
(Les Sauteurs)

— A Malian refugee living with about 1,000 more men on Mount Gurugu, is given a camera to document his time at the camp trying to scale the border fence, escape then border guards and enter Spain. At times the footage is a little rough but it’s a small price to pay for the personal and up-close look provided as migrants document their own story. Not only is the resulting film riveting, it’s interesting to see a film where the original two directors gave up so much responsibility for what was recorded. (Shown at True/False Film Fest 2016.)
