French Guiana, the invisible frontier

Collection of three films about borders

Borders don’t exist in French Guiana. It offers ideal crossing points from one country to another for traffickers, migrants fleeing some of the world’s poorest countries like Haiti, to seek a better life in France.
Through the daily lives of Guyanese – the head of a military patrol whose impossible mission is to control such a long border in the jungle, a “mule” recruited by drug traffickers, a school teacher overwhelmed by the differences in levels and social conditions of his pupils, a midwife and a woman who has just given birth testifying to hospital overcrowding – we discover the human consequences of the absence of this border, overwhelmed.
