The Wild Frontier (2017) - full transcript
This is the winter of 2016
We are in France
Not very far from Paris
Even if everyone knew
where the Jungle was
Even if we didn't know
where the Jungle was
this territory and its hybrid community,
was there, so close to us
but its opacity made it furtive
Forests, places of
disappearance and camouflage
can grow in the heart of a ghetto
or in transit-generated interzones
THE WILD FRONTIER
Birth of a Nation
That's police checking, at the Lidl
and gas spray
France police
and hitting
14 years
London police, good

My name is Maeregue Awede
I was born in Eritrea,
in the city of Assab
I grew up in Ethiopia
Which is why I speak Ahmaric
I've been through so much
I've learned some lessons
I had to change my life several times
looking for the way to freedom
deciding on where to go
I crossed Sudan, Libya, Italy
to get here and face my future
Nothing happened as planned
In Sudan, it was alright
In Libya, it was horrible
I almost took my own life
committed suicide
I was arrested by fake policemen
detained in prison for three months
I've lost a lot of friends
The Almighty saved me
because in theses places
no one else would have saved me
In Libya, there is no State,
there are no laws
I'm here thanks to prayers
and by the grace of God
I've seen death with my own eyes,
people getting murdred
I've been through experiences
that I don't even know how to describe
He's dead
He's dead
He's dead
He's dead, I know him
I'm here
Look
I'm here
I'm here
You see that?
I'm waking up
If we're all here today
it's to find freedom and justice
There are many people like me here
that's why exile never stops
Elisabeth, what does it mean, 23...?
Everyone from England say 23, 23...
The other day, we left the Jungle
Five of us went to the Lidl supermarket
to buy some groceries
On the way back
A police car stopped us
The policemen were shouting:
Go Jungle!
We answered:
OK we go Jungle!
Further down the road,
they caught up with us
and screamed, again:
Go Jungle!
We answer:
OK we are going!
Ten yards further,
the car drives by us again
and gases us
When you get gassed,
you can't move
You can't breathe
Your eyes, your nose, your mouth
It's very painful
You fall on the floor
We blew air on each other's faces
to ease the burning pain
Then we went back to the Jungle
At the entrance, the police shouted again:
Go Jungle!
The policemen are always provoking us
and if we react, they gas us
He said 3 euros for 2 yogurts
I told him, No, 4 euros
It's hot!
How can you go to England
without hot bread?
Throw that one away, it doesn't work
How about this one?
You need to top it up
What's the number?
It's on the receipt
Where are the numbers?
You must put in those numbers
They must be on the Lycacard
It works!...
There are 2 euros on it
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work
Zizou, don't put that much money
I want to keep 10 euros to call the family
Hello? Ferieh?
How are you, darling?
I want to call Francesca!
Did you sleep well?
We just wanted to test the card
Why are you calling for real?
Ferieh?
Who's SIM card is it?
It's running!
Is it your SIM card?
Call me back, Zeid
No, it doesn't work
Go ahead
Well done
Ok, give it back to me now
I think it's the network

Ethiopia

Sudanese
Eritrean
Ethiopians
Somalis
No money
We are in Calais
Life is hard
We are naked,
our clothes are dirty
My name is Raja
I live in Calais
Calais is dirty
Fleas are everywhere
We live in dust, we have bites
Why don't they let us go to England?
We have a tent there,
come with us
"Don't argue with the poor!"
"Don't argue with Momaud, Afrirdi,
Machiali, Bajawari..."
I learned English a long time ago
Speak in turkish, say something...
What should I say?
Calais is a big problem
We want to go to England
OK, OK...
Come on, let's go to England!
Hello, my name is Nadji Bullah,
son of Hadji Sahaib Gulmalok
I am from Deshteskagawi,
in the province of Logar
I'v been here for 15 days
"I am nothing, I lost everything,
I wander, dust on my head"
We live in tents
or in containers
Thank you!
We came out to play cricket
on the field... Bye!
I've been in the Jungle for 3 months
I still haven't seen the air
on the other side of the bridge
We're living like animals
I live in those containers
There's no bathroom in there
no toilets, no water, no food
Living like this is difficult
They say 5000 persons are
coming to those containers
But there are only 200 containers
You can't fit 5000 people
in 200 containers
They'll destroy the Jungle
and where will we go next?
Where do we go?
Tell us where?
We'll go where you tell us
There's a lot of police
We're sick of policemen
They gas us like ennemies
We fled Afghanistan
because of our ennemies
and here, the police use gas against us
There's a big problem...
Look...
They do better for us
I heard about some information
If you want to go back to school
they can do that for us
We don't want to die
that is why we came here
He said
- I have like 2 weeks here
He passed through Libya
He passed through the Sahara desert
He said
- When I reached in Italy
I was so confused
I don't even know where I am
I was searching but I couldn't find out
I like England!
Since we've lost our liberty
we struggle so much
The freedom we have here,
is lost in your country
If I disagreed with you,
you would hit me!
He said
- I don’t know where I am even
but the place when I reach here
I know the place is France
Open the door!
Open!
It's the door, Ferieh!
Open it, open it!
It's locked from the outside
Why?
I don't know, Dawitt locked me in
What about the shoes?
Where are they?
I told you, it was just a jacket!
What kind of jacket?
Like the one the girl brought
She didn't think of me?
Of course she did, she said:
- Bring the jacket to Dawitt...
What's the problem?
Did she tell you to give it to me?
- Wait!
No, I want to talk, Almaz!
I swear!
Listen, listen...
Kiss your ring
Kiss it...
Now tell me the truth,
did she give it to you?
What's your mother's first name?
Skat Tadila
Swear on Skat Tadila!
Wait,
Francesca came
Swear on Skat Tadila!
Wait, goddamn!
I love your mother more than you!
Francesca gave them to Zeid
A jacket and a pair of shoes, OK?
For Johnny and Dzezma
And a tracksuit
A larger one, to wear inside
They have three
You already have them
She said they were for Dawitt
so you can see if you like them...
There was only one jacket
Zeid took it
Is it for you or for him?
Where is the one for Zeid?
Why'd you give the shoes?
I'm out of shoes!
She brought us nothing tonight,
only for Johnny
Why only for Johnny?
I don't know!
That's enough, I'm leaving!
I'll settle that with her
OK, stop
Isn't this your house?
Listen!
She said they're for Johnny!
What do you want me to do?!
Listen to me, listen...
Is this your house, or not?
You must choose between Francesca and me!
Only one of us can step into your house
I'm leaving, I'll be back
Meanwhile, you think about it
Why? Fuck!
Why must I think
and choose while you're gone?
You must choose between Francesca and me
How come?
If you choose Francesca,
you are an opportunist
If you choose her...
Understand me! Understand me!...
Fuck off!...
Please understand me!
OK, I understand you
I've never said that to a girl before
Sit down...
- I'm listening to you
Be quiet, they're filming us
This is why I'm leaving
I'll come back later
Stay still...
I'd better leave, my love...
Be quiet!
They're working...
Dawitt, Dawitt...
Sit down
Francesca brought some shoes,
one pair
She didn't bring Johnny any clothes
Just a pair of shoes
A jacket!
Why did you say I hid it?
No, my love!
I never said you hid it
Francesca got mixed up
Francesca got mixed up?
She brought me the ugly one
Ugly?! It's magnificent
I'm leaving
I don't want our families to see us
fighting on television
I swear! ... And when you come back....
Here, take...
I swear, one more time
When Francesca comes back, call me
I want to give her a kiss
Give me one too, kiss me
How many do you want?
Kiss me....
Kiss me...
Sit down...
Sit down...
Behave yourself...
What's this?
Almaz is a criminal
Almaz is agressive
She wants to fight with me
He's killed me, that one
I'm sorry, no camera...
I came here by car...
no safe camera
Eli
I’m going to the train
Zizou
Almaz!
Almaz!
Zeid!
Zeid!
Johnny!
The first fire was at
1.30 o'clock in the last night
It was in the litter
the fire was starting
I come out from my house
and I see there is a fire in the litter
If they have not take out
the bottle of gas
maybe the fire is coming inside
to this restaurant
No change, see over there
No change?
The judgement decided...
They said to the government party
Because there was 2 parties:
one human rights, one government party
They spoke with the government party
They not speak with
those who support us
like our lawyer, the human rights side
The judge told to the police :
- You can't broke...
or finishing any house with
people living in them at the moment
Because to all the country
it's not allowed anybody living
in any place they broke or is destroyed
Yesterday, me, Almaz, Johnny, Dawitt
We go to the train, the boat
Inside the truck,
me and Almaz and Dawitt
They three, me, and Johnny
Scan, police, check inside the car
Three guys: Outside!
Dawitt in the car
Maybe he go to England
The security catch us,
all three people
Still no news about Dawitt
Maybe, we wish, he is in UK
Maybe tonight or morning,
we know where is Dawitt
Maybe somewhere to prison
or in UK
She says that if Dawitt
go to UK, I will so happy
She’s right, we’ll so happy
because it's a big hope for us
So maybe we’ll try again
Tomorrow, maybe we’ll go to UK
It's a chance
A new hope
We try our best
By truck or by train?
He want to try it by bicycle
For you...
Give it to me, I’ll read it!
Tomorrow, the French government
is coming to the Jungle...
Since there are a many migrants
all the migrants must come out
and stand in front of their houses
Everybody out tomorrow
for the demonstration!
Come and join us on the road...
near the bridge
and the Salaam Centre
Will they destroy everything?
No, they won't
They’re coming to count us
Everybody must come tomorrow
You, him, everyone, everyone
It was really a strange feeling
because everybody
were waiting for the judge
Because she will judge,
it's gonna destroy their lives
And they have second problem that night
First of all, they’re waiting
to cross the border to England
And they are waiting for the judge,
maybe they will destroy their dreams
And they're impatient
The wind smells like smoke
It's coming this way
The loonies are making a barbecue!
Someone opened the gas can
I left over there
I can smell the smoke
The smell of smoke had been here a while
Lieutenant!
Volunteers...
But I don’t see any volunteers
Because before
she never go to Isbergues
Because she has not have money
Now she happy
Me too, I am happy
Almaz she go Isbergues
She can not get a chance
from here to England
Because for men no different from here
but for women, very different
She can't jump over the fence...
You see one car, police car?
You see...
I don’t know by English
That, after cut...
And if no police arriving
We climb inside truck
It's really strange
Where I am standing now
by the sea
is the perfect place to cross the border
But now, it's very busy
It's too hard
We don't really know
how to do it
A lucky one can pull it off
Another one can’t
It’s cold
but the warm weather is coming back
The seasons are mixing
We can’t change the climate
We must deal with it
There will be better days ahead
There, in the distance, is the port
It’s the main gateway to get in
We’ll see if I can
I’ve been here for three months
It’s hard to cross over
It’s hard to get into England
I don’t know how
but I won’t give up
England is my only hope
My only way out
I must be brave
I have no choice
Uncertainty prevails
Anyway...
I’ll keep trying
I have no choice
I have to keep going
Everybody tries to cross
the same way
But it’s not the easiest passage
Possibilities arise thanks to dockers
But even that is too crowded
One could almost say it’s closed
It’s hard and it’s still cold
Nobody would want to live like this
I can’t give up
A Christian doesn’t give up
But it’s weird
I hate everything here
I can’t take it anymore
We’re prisoners
Our families don’t know where we are
We don’t know what to do
It’s going to be alright
We’ve been through
so much hardship in Libya
Good times will follow bad ones
It’s going to be OK
We’ll see what the future holds
That’s my answer
The border is burning
Rain...
Welcome inside
The fire truck
The sports car
The golf cart
The parachute
The oil tanker
The submarine, the tank
The tramway
The yacht
What TV channel today?
Fuck you!
In Eritrea,
the government is very dictator
The army is obligatory
If you want to learn
you can’t learn there
The government teach you for army
If you can't accept that
the government,
they try to kill you
Maybe the police catches you
they send you somewhere
to teach you be a soldier
And if you don't want
to be taught the army
you have to leave Eritrea
The police maybe catches up to you
Exactly you're dead
In army, they change exactly your mind
You think like a dictator
You change your mind
You don't have mercy for another person
On YouTube...
you see a lot of people like this
You wanted to ask him a question?
Yes, did it happen to him last winter?
You come here,
I will talk to you now
Maybe that time you come
I don't know who you are
I didn't talk to you...
Yeah, but now, this time,
I know who am I
And I know you are friends
- So he had bouts of dementia, like that?
- Yes, he did
Because the priest
said the Bible words
the devil is very angry, understand?
The devil... I'm not
Look at that cop, staring at us
Son of a bitch...
What does he think?
Where was he born?
What are they gonna do?
Don’t worry... You’ll get in
I just need them to give me the thing
But the dude's speaking
about a 20 euro phone!
For tomorrow?
He’s smart, he goes through us
to not get beaten up
Do you know these guys?
I don’t trust them
We have no choice, may God hear us
We never know whether
they’re up to good or bad
Do you know what they did to Wodiema?
They told him to dress up
and they took pictures
Do you understand?
They asked to take his picture
and said nothing bad would happen
Hi Almaz...
Are you alright?
Yes, I’m fine, my Dawitt
I’ve missed you, honey
Me too, me too...
I’m with you, 100 %
I’m good, but England’s no good
How about you?
I’m alright, but
I really miss you and Zeid
Yes, yes, yes, sorry, sorry
You went and left me behind
No, no, no, my Dawitt,
it was just so difficult to leave
We couldn’t wait for you
Don’t worry, there is a God
How about you, how are you doing?
I’m good
Everything’s fine, I miss you though...
How about you, honey, how are you?
We’re doing good but it’s hard
Don’t worry, there is a God, sister
There is a God, but it’s different here
We are really alone
It’s our fault, we shouldn’t have left
Before leaving, it was 100 euros,
then 200, after, 400
and big promises!
It’s OK, honey, don’t be afraid
Did you call your family for money?
No, there’s no money, no money
Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
How could I forget you?
I’ll send you your SIM card
No, you don’t have to
Are you sure?
Of course, you’ve done enough
I wonder what’s in store for us
Thank you so much, my Dawitt
Honestly, I don’t know
There’s no more hope here, nothing
Nothing?
No, nothing
We can’t do anything for you
from where we are
But we won’t let you down
But where can I go?
Just wait,
you’ll catch your break, Dawitt
Hold on, just be patient
He says there are no possibilities
for the moment
I’m so sorry, my Dawitt
We are in France
Not very far from Paris
Even if everyone knew
where the Jungle was
Even if we didn't know
where the Jungle was
this territory and its hybrid community,

because of our ennemies
and here, the police use gas against us
There's a big problem...
Look...
They do better for us
I heard about some information
If you want to go back to school
they can do that for us
We don't want to die
that is why we came here
He said
- I have like 2 weeks here
He passed through Libya
He passed through the Sahara desert
He said
- When I reached in Italy
I was so confused
I don't even know where I am
I was searching but I couldn't find out
I like England!
Since we've lost our liberty
we struggle so much
The freedom we have here,
is lost in your country
If I disagreed with you,
you would hit me!
He said
- I don’t know where I am even
but the place when I reach here
I know the place is France
Open the door!
Open!
It's the door, Ferieh!
Open it, open it!
It's locked from the outside
Why?
I don't know, Dawitt locked me in
What about the shoes?
Where are they?
I told you, it was just a jacket!
What kind of jacket?
Like the one the girl brought
She didn't think of me?
Of course she did, she said:
- Bring the jacket to Dawitt...
What's the problem?
Did she tell you to give it to me?
- Wait!
No, I want to talk, Almaz!
I swear!
Listen, listen...
Kiss your ring
Kiss it...
Now tell me the truth,
did she give it to you?
What's your mother's first name?
Skat Tadila
Swear on Skat Tadila!
Wait,
Francesca came
Swear on Skat Tadila!
Wait, goddamn!
I love your mother more than you!
Francesca gave them to Zeid
A jacket and a pair of shoes, OK?
For Johnny and Dzezma
And a tracksuit
A larger one, to wear inside
They have three
You already have them
She said they were for Dawitt
so you can see if you like them...
There was only one jacket
Zeid took it
Is it for you or for him?
Where is the one for Zeid?
Why'd you give the shoes?
I'm out of shoes!
She brought us nothing tonight,
only for Johnny
Why only for Johnny?
I don't know!
That's enough, I'm leaving!
I'll settle that with her
OK, stop
Isn't this your house?
Listen!
She said they're for Johnny!
What do you want me to do?!
Listen to me, listen...
Is this your house, or not?
You must choose between Francesca and me!
Only one of us can step into your house
I'm leaving, I'll be back
Meanwhile, you think about it
Why? Fuck!
Why must I think
and choose while you're gone?
You must choose between Francesca and me
How come?
If you choose Francesca,
you are an opportunist
If you choose her...
Understand me! Understand me!...
Fuck off!...
Please understand me!
OK, I understand you
I've never said that to a girl before
Sit down...
- I'm listening to you
Be quiet, they're filming us
This is why I'm leaving
I'll come back later
Stay still...
I'd better leave, my love...
Be quiet!
They're working...
Dawitt, Dawitt...
Sit down
Francesca brought some shoes,
one pair
She didn't bring Johnny any clothes
Just a pair of shoes
A jacket!
Why did you say I hid it?
No, my love!
I never said you hid it
Francesca got mixed up
Francesca got mixed up?
She brought me the ugly one
Ugly?! It's magnificent
I'm leaving
I don't want our families to see us
fighting on television
I swear! ... And when you come back....
Here, take...
I swear, one more time
When Francesca comes back, call me
I want to give her a kiss
Give me one too, kiss me
How many do you want?
Kiss me....
Kiss me...
Sit down...
Sit down...
Behave yourself...
What's this?
Almaz is a criminal
Almaz is agressive
She wants to fight with me
He's killed me, that one
I'm sorry, no camera...
I came here by car...
no safe camera
Eli
I’m going to the train
Zizou
Almaz!
Almaz!
Zeid!
Zeid!
Johnny!
The first fire was at
1.30 o'clock in the last night
It was in the litter
the fire was starting
I come out from my house
and I see there is a fire in the litter
If they have not take out
the bottle of gas
maybe the fire is coming inside
to this restaurant
No change, see over there
No change?
The judgement decided...
They said to the government party
Because there was 2 parties:
one human rights, one government party
They spoke with the government party
They not speak with
those who support us
like our lawyer, the human rights side
The judge told to the police :
- You can't broke...
or finishing any house with
people living in them at the moment
Because to all the country
it's not allowed anybody living
in any place they broke or is destroyed
Yesterday, me, Almaz, Johnny, Dawitt
We go to the train, the boat
Inside the truck,
me and Almaz and Dawitt
They three, me, and Johnny
Scan, police, check inside the car
Three guys: Outside!
Dawitt in the car
Maybe he go to England
The security catch us,
all three people
Still no news about Dawitt
Maybe, we wish, he is in UK
Maybe tonight or morning,
we know where is Dawitt
Maybe somewhere to prison
or in UK
She says that if Dawitt
go to UK, I will so happy
She’s right, we’ll so happy
because it's a big hope for us
So maybe we’ll try again
Tomorrow, maybe we’ll go to UK
It's a chance
A new hope
We try our best
By truck or by train?
He want to try it by bicycle
For you...
Give it to me, I’ll read it!
Tomorrow, the French government
is coming to the Jungle...
Since there are a many migrants
all the migrants must come out
and stand in front of their houses
Everybody out tomorrow
for the demonstration!
Come and join us on the road...
near the bridge
and the Salaam Centre
Will they destroy everything?
No, they won't
They’re coming to count us
Everybody must come tomorrow
You, him, everyone, everyone
It was really a strange feeling
because everybody
were waiting for the judge
Because she will judge,
it's gonna destroy their lives
And they have second problem that night
First of all, they’re waiting
to cross the border to England
And they are waiting for the judge,
maybe they will destroy their dreams
And they're impatient
The wind smells like smoke
It's coming this way
The loonies are making a barbecue!
Someone opened the gas can
I left over there
I can smell the smoke
The smell of smoke had been here a while
Lieutenant!
Volunteers...
But I don’t see any volunteers
Because before
she never go to Isbergues
Because she has not have money
Now she happy
Me too, I am happy
Almaz she go Isbergues
She can not get a chance
from here to England
Because for men no different from here
but for women, very different
She can't jump over the fence...
You see one car, police car?
You see...
I don’t know by English
That, after cut...
And if no police arriving
We climb inside truck
It's really strange
Where I am standing now
by the sea
is the perfect place to cross the border
But now, it's very busy
It's too hard
We don't really know
how to do it
A lucky one can pull it off
Another one can’t
It’s cold
but the warm weather is coming back
The seasons are mixing
We can’t change the climate
We must deal with it
There will be better days ahead
There, in the distance, is the port
It’s the main gateway to get in
We’ll see if I can
I’ve been here for three months
It’s hard to cross over
It’s hard to get into England
I don’t know how
but I won’t give up
England is my only hope
My only way out
I must be brave
I have no choice
Uncertainty prevails
Anyway...
I’ll keep trying
I have no choice
I have to keep going
Everybody tries to cross
the same way
But it’s not the easiest passage
Possibilities arise thanks to dockers
But even that is too crowded
One could almost say it’s closed
It’s hard and it’s still cold
Nobody would want to live like this
I can’t give up
A Christian doesn’t give up
But it’s weird
I hate everything here
I can’t take it anymore
We’re prisoners
Our families don’t know where we are
We don’t know what to do
It’s going to be alright
We’ve been through
so much hardship in Libya
Good times will follow bad ones
It’s going to be OK
We’ll see what the future holds
That’s my answer
The border is burning
Rain...
Welcome inside
The fire truck
The sports car
The golf cart
The parachute
The oil tanker
The submarine, the tank
The tramway
The yacht
What TV channel today?
Fuck you!
In Eritrea,
the government is very dictator
The army is obligatory
If you want to learn
you can’t learn there
The government teach you for army
If you can't accept that
the government,
they try to kill you
Maybe the police catches you
they send you somewhere
to teach you be a soldier
And if you don't want
to be taught the army
you have to leave Eritrea
The police maybe catches up to you
Exactly you're dead
In army, they change exactly your mind
You think like a dictator
You change your mind
You don't have mercy for another person
On YouTube...
you see a lot of people like this
You wanted to ask him a question?
Yes, did it happen to him last winter?
You come here,
I will talk to you now
Maybe that time you come
I don't know who you are
I didn't talk to you...
Yeah, but now, this time,
I know who am I
And I know you are friends
- So he had bouts of dementia, like that?
- Yes, he did
Because the priest
said the Bible words
the devil is very angry, understand?
The devil... I'm not
Look at that cop, staring at us
Son of a bitch...
What does he think?
Where was he born?
What are they gonna do?
Don’t worry... You’ll get in
I just need them to give me the thing
But the dude's speaking
about a 20 euro phone!
For tomorrow?
He’s smart, he goes through us
to not get beaten up
Do you know these guys?
I don’t trust them
We have no choice, may God hear us
We never know whether
they’re up to good or bad
Do you know what they did to Wodiema?
They told him to dress up
and they took pictures
Do you understand?
They asked to take his picture
and said nothing bad would happen
Hi Almaz...
Are you alright?
Yes, I’m fine, my Dawitt
I’ve missed you, honey
Me too, me too...
I’m with you, 100 %
I’m good, but England’s no good
How about you?
I’m alright, but
I really miss you and Zeid
Yes, yes, yes, sorry, sorry
You went and left me behind
No, no, no, my Dawitt,
it was just so difficult to leave
We couldn’t wait for you
Don’t worry, there is a God
How about you, how are you doing?
I’m good
Everything’s fine, I miss you though...
How about you, honey, how are you?
We’re doing good but it’s hard
Don’t worry, there is a God, sister
There is a God, but it’s different here
We are really alone
It’s our fault, we shouldn’t have left
Before leaving, it was 100 euros,
then 200, after, 400
and big promises!
It’s OK, honey, don’t be afraid
Did you call your family for money?
No, there’s no money, no money
Don’t forget me
Don’t forget me
How could I forget you?
I’ll send you your SIM card
No, you don’t have to
Are you sure?
Of course, you’ve done enough
I wonder what’s in store for us
Thank you so much, my Dawitt
Honestly, I don’t know
There’s no more hope here, nothing
Nothing?
No, nothing
We can’t do anything for you
from where we are
But we won’t let you down
But where can I go?
Just wait,
you’ll catch your break, Dawitt
Hold on, just be patient
He says there are no possibilities
for the moment
I’m so sorry, my Dawitt
