Welcome to Switzerland

Welcome to Switzerland, a documentary that uncovers the gripping story of a small village in the heart of Europe, where the mayor, Andreas Glarner, is determined to set an example by refusing to accept 10 refugees. Despite the resistance from the community, led by Johanna Gündel, a young student and daughter of a local farmer, Glarner's anti-immigration stance quickly propels him to national fame and a seat on the Swiss National Council. As tensions rise and fears are stoked, the village becomes a microcosm for the greater challenges faced by Switzerland and Europe in the so-called refugee crisis. Through the lens of this small community, Welcome to Switzerland offers a powerful allegory for a nation at a crossroads, struggling to balance its humanitarian traditions with the pressures of global politics.
