The documentary film NEULAND by the Swiss filmmaker Anna Thommen tackles one of the most relevant issues in European society - migration. The filmmaker accompanies young migrants in Switzerland and paints an impressive portrait of their dedicated teacher who strives emphatically to get these young people on the right track in a foreign country. For a period of nearly two years, Anna Thommen and her cinematographer Gabriela Betschart accompany the refugees with a delicately operated hand-camera. They succeed in creating an inconspicuous, yet highly intensive portrayal of a group and the struggle for recognition and a new start. NEULAND is an important film that offers a ray of hope and opens our eyes to the issue of integration in Europe, which has long since been one of our most crucial societal challenges.
