شهيلي – Scirocco: A Case Against Deportations
Scirocco: A Case Against Deportations (2018) is a short animation movie produced by the Brush&Bow collective and by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, directed by David L. Suber, Hannah Kirmes-Daly and Leonard Ermel. Based on the investigative research “Failing readmissions: If sending migrants back won’t work”, the animation draws out the story of Ahmed and his story of deportation and re-emigration, drawing attention to the failures of Europe’s deportation policies.
The working process involved field research in Tunis, sketching the streets and scenes, and a year in the studio hand drawing every frame.
