Information for the Audience:
Daniel wants to thank you for viewing Saul's story. He couldn't participate in the screening because he is in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign and preparations for another documentary.
He is very thankful to Saul and the festival for providing him this opportunity.
As you can see in the film Saul is also very funny in real life.
Logline: In a series of intimate conversations, asylum seekers and migrants share their compelling, and dangerous journeys of hope to the West, reversing the psychological process of dehumanization by developing empathy for and recognizing the humanity of these refugees. For context, humanitarian workers provide a framework for challenges these new arrivals often face as they rebuild their lives in an all-new environment.
Summary/Synopsis: Tempelhof strips away the dehumanizing effect of anonymity surrounding the extraordinary number of refugees displaced since 2014, highlighting their individual journeys of courage, fear, and hope as they fled their homes for the west and began the process of cultural integration. Although the current migrant crisis has been ongoing for at least a decade, the inflammatory, often inaccurate rhetoric surrounding the topic of immigration and refugees has peaked again in 2018. Tempelhof, the documentary, offers a stunning, timely counterpoint to the dehumanization and stereotyping of migrants perpetuated by fear and misunderstanding. Highlighting individual accounts of refugees trying to reach the West from Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria, through the Balkans and on to Germany, Tempelhof is the story of many people caught up in a vicious series of ongoing conflicts and political/cultural struggles within countries. By concentrating on the refugees and migrants as individuals, Tempelhof seeks to reverse the psychological process of dehumanization by creating empathy for and recognizing the humanity of each courageous interviewee.
