Immigration Forecast

Immigration Forecast is a series of videos dealing with issues of “illegal” immigration from the Arab world to Europe. Spoofing the format of a weather report, the forecast delivers news on the latest attempts by immigrants to find their way around borders, to sneak into European territory. Highlighting true stories of how such attempts are made, the reports use specially designed icons to showcase both the inadvertent humor of such attempts, as well as the consequences and gravity of getting caught. The truth is that countless people risk their lives every day to get past borders, to try for a better life in the imagined paradise and freedom of Europe. Meanwhile Europe, growing ever more insular and fearful of foreigners, especially Muslim immigrants, tightens its rules and regulations for entry.
