Die Anhörung

The Hearing

Four asylum seekers had their applications rejected by Swiss authorities. In a drab, anonymous room, they were forced to account for their lives, with every word and gesture recorded and used in judgement against them. But how can we prove our life story, without a physical record beyond our own experience, to those who have not lived it?
