Survive

On the abandoned baseball field of the 2004 Olympic Games, 500 refugees live in UNCHR tents. While populist parties speak worldwide of the downfall of Western civilization, the christian West, mass rape, terrorism or exploitation of their social systems, the refugees live in this abandoned stadium until they get their papers. One of these refugees is a 78-year old English teacher from Afghanistan, who tries not only to survive under very difficult conditions, but to live with dignity in his own way.
