History

Angela Merkel's decision in autumn 2015 to open the borders for refugees split the country - some praised the moral stance, others criticized the surrender of sovereignty. Yet what would appear to be well-planned activity is in reality a policy of muddling along, chance, trial and error. The Driven Ones is a chronicle of the refugee crisis which shows that the political actors are being driven along, crushed between self-imposed constraints and events that have spun out of control.

A tv movie that focuses on the 2015 refugee crisis and Angela Merkel's confrontation with her own government, allowing an opening of German borders. It is political cinema with little depth, which narrates the events in a hasty way. But the characters are flat, including an Angela Merkel that we only see running from one place to another, although there is some element of intimacy that tries to humanize her.
