Detained

"Detained" offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those awaiting forced deportation within the Swedish Migration Board's locked repository. Prisoner and guard interact in close quarters, sharing conversations during sleepless nights and playing football during hot summer days. The documentary follows three individuals, Sophie, Sami, and Aina, each with their own story, struggles, and aspirations. Sophie loves her job at the repository, while Sami, a young rebel, finds solace in his own sense of freedom. Aina, separated from her children, faces the harsh reality of being locked up and the relentless efforts of the police to enforce her expulsion. Through their stories, "Detained" sheds light on the human side of migration politics, capturing a limbo-like existence that is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.
