Nightwatchers

Set against the backdrop of an idyllic ski resort on the French-Italian border, Nightwatchers unveils a starkly different reality hidden beneath its picturesque surface. While laws permit refugees to apply for asylum upon entering France, many are turned back by authorities without the opportunity to file an application. Migrants must undertake increasingly perilous routes through the mountains. On the French side, volunteers of all ages traverse these treacherous paths nightly, offering assistance and guiding migrants to safety further down the valley. The film immerses viewers in a single night’s mission, highlighting the commitment of this invaluable network of solidarity.
