Venezuelancar ◊ 2026-08-12 06:33	The March... this 1990 film from the BBC is set on a unspecified year in the then-future (but very 1990s), follows an homonymous march composed of Sudanese "climate refugees" led by an muslin man called Isa El-Mahdi (Malick Bowens) that decides to cross Northern Africa to reach Gibraltar and go to Europe with a message directed to the europeans: "We are poor because you are rich" and "Watch us die". Clare Fitzgerald (Juliet Stevenson), an Irish European Community Development Commissioner, closely follows El-Mahdi’s march—alongside American candidate Marcus Brown (Joseph Mydell)—as they are making their way toward the continent, while tensions regarding migrants rise between governments and the public. I hadn't planned on posting contributions regarding this film anytime soon, but the migration crisis in Ceuta made me reconsider that decision. (German poster from the film) Oddly enough and a fun fact is that CNN features prominently in the film through television broadcasts (despite being a BBC film), alongside ZDF (which covers and brings footage from El-Mahdi's March) and TVE. -- Last edit: 2026-08-12 16:46:38 (admin: walter)

Oddly enough and a fun fact is that CNN features prominently in the film through television broadcasts (despite being a BBC film), alongside ZDF (which covers and brings footage from El-Mahdi's March) and TVE.
