Oh! I got it! Min. 7’45:

J’ai transcrit des passages, si jamais cela t’intéresse...

Merci.

J’avais été frappé par ce passage :

Commissioner Hristo Stefanov (min. 12’28):
“Now to the numbers, officially, there are more than 600’000 illegal migrants in Turkey. Unofficially around 1,2 mio. These people don’t move alone, they move with smugglers. People-smuggling in Turkey is actually an industry. It’s not just a business, but a whole industry. So our main opponents are the ringleaders of this people-smuggling, not just the people who physically smuggle them”

Extraits tirés du film:
Commissioner Hristo Stefanov, Border Control Center, Bulgaria:
Obviously we can’t live without borders. Mankind hasn’t reached that point yet. Borders divide different worlds, different countries, sometimes enemies. Borders secure the place"

Syrian refugee:
“Either you make it, you get caught, you get beaten up, or you die. It seems we have left one war to enter another”

On smugglers, the Syrian refugee:
“You are forced to deal with them, and all they care about is money. They don’t care wheather you can cope and will make it, or wheather you die”
A Syrian smuggler interviewed by the journalist by phone (a Syrian national):
“We’re not doing it for money. But because those people who get out are the same who will return and rebuild their country”

A Bulgarian journalist (min. 9’28):
“I believe at the border they have super-modern technologies. They can see 14 km into Turkey, they have helicopters, and all sort of things. They’ve spent loads of money and yet they can’t even spare a joke sum of a million Lev (425’000 pounds) to build a decent camp? They have not travelled 2000 or 3000 km to get here to set up businesses or for their leisure. I saw mothers, children, elderly people with basic, ripped clothing, small amount of luggage, and I realized that they are desperate”

Commissioner Hristo Stefanov (min. 12’28):
“Now to the numbers, officially, there are more than 600’000 illegal migrants in Turkey. Unofficially around 1,2 mio. These people don’t move alone, they move with smugglers. People-smuggling in Turkey is actually an industry. It’s not just a business, but a whole industry. So our main opponents are the ringleaders of this people-smuggling, not just the people who physically smuggle them”

Syrian refugee:
“The situation really deteriorated in Syria. We were comfortably off. I was a housewife and my husband had work, thanks God. We moved to the village, because the villages were safe. And then the war came to the villages. [Tahira wonder if staying in Turkey would have been better] Is there a way back? I would go if there was. I feel like a criminal here. We are imprisoned, we can’t get out”

Commissioner Hristo Stefanov (min. 17’58):
“I do feel sorry for the ones who are really escaping war, but not all fall into that category. I can feel only pride to serve at the Bulgarian-Turkey border, one of the most difficult. We are at the frontline of securing our country”

Syrian refugee:
“Wheather they like it or not I will keep trying. I don’t care about their precious borders and national pride”
