Summary
In the winter of 2015, the world faced the biggest refugee crisis since WWII. People escaping war, persecution and poverty reached Idomeni the Greek-FYROM border that became a symbol of Europe's excluding character. While Immigration policies harshened, deploying methods such as detention and deportation, a transnational activist network was formed in response, alongside local initiatives, aiming to help those rejected at the frontier. The network advocated the right to freedom of movement as a fundamental human right, challenging notions such as legality, illegality, borders and nation-states. The ethnographic film Going Illegal, a border Diary, an outcome of a politically engaged ethnographic research depicts the crisis through the movement's actions.
