We follow a young boy playing in a forest with some friends. Bit by bit, through his eyes, we see a distressed child of a different ethnic race, then a long line of people amassed together, police guards with dogs and a high wall covered with barbed wire. Where are we? and when?

Declaration
film director
“A New Perspective is a dramatic film of universal and historic appeal which sets out to record some of the all too topical events of recent times such as the refugees gathered at the gates of Europe. Events that are deeply and paradoxically linked to the same reasons that Europe was constructed after the war. It seeks to promote peace and a United Nations of Europe rather than a return to the horrors of concentration camps and a renewal of hatred and nationalism.”
