Post-screening Conversation Questions

  1. How does the film’s title echo the experience of incarcerated Eritrean refugees?
  2. “This prison is better than dying in Eritrea”; how does first-person narrative convey the urgency of fleeing one’s home-country in order to survive?
  3. How does the filmmaker capture the personal narratives of forced displacement on camera? What filming techniques does he use?
  4. How is the difference between ‘surviving’ and ‘living’ communicated in the film?
