Hands Cut

2016

In September 2015, the director was in Budapest, at the Keleti station, where most of the refugees arrived.

During that time, he spoke with several Syrians, from doctors to engineers, workers, students. Mohamed, a young Syrian engineer, began by explaining the cuts on his hands: "They are due to having to hold the barbed wire to pass".
