Synopsis
Giving voice to the Ethiopian refugees living in Rome, the film provides us with direct insight into the brutal ways in which Libya, aided by Italian and European funding, controls the flow of African emigrants trying to reach Europe. Come un uomo sulla terra is a journey of pain and dignity voiced through the remembrances of Dagmawi Yimer as he tells of unthinkable human suffering and denounces a desperate political situation. The film was nominated for the David di Donatello Award for Best Documentary in 2009.Comments

January 2010, Rosarno, Calabria. Widely publicized immigrant riots exposed the unjust and squalid conditions that thousands of African laborers, exploited by an economy controlled by the Calabrian mafia, endure on a daily basis. For a brief moment, the immigrants caught the attention of the Italian public, who responded to these protests with fear and violence. In a few hours, the immigrants in question were "evacuated" from Rosarno and the problem was "resolved." But the faces and the stories of those involved in the riots at Rosarno tell a different story.

Shun Li (Zhao Tao) has been working in a textile workshop in the outskirts of Rome for eight years trying to obtain the documents to bring her son to Italy. She is suddenly transferred to Chioggia, a small island town situated in the Venetian lagoon to work as a bartender in a tavern. Bepi (Rade Šerbedžija), a fisherman of Slavic origin, nicknamed by friends as "the Poet", has been visiting the little inn for years. Their meeting is a poetic escape from loneliness, a silent dialogue between different cultures. It is a journey into the heart of a deep lagoon, known to be a mother and birthplace of identity. But the friendship between Shun Li and Bepi disturbs both communities, Chinese and Chioggia, which hinders this new journey, which perhaps is simply still too scary.

Après La Forteresse, qui décrivait l'accueil des demandeurs d’asile en Suisse, Fernand Melgar porte son regard vers la fin du parcours migratoire. Au Centre de détention administrative de Frambois à Genève, des hommes sont privés de liberté dans l’attente d’un renvoi. Requérants d’asile déboutés, condamnés étrangers ayant purgé leur peine ou sans papiers, ils sont sommés de partir après, pour certains, avoir passé plusieurs années en Suisse, travaillé, payé des impôts, fondé une famille. Leur incarcération peut durer jusqu’à 18 mois. Dans ce huis clos, la tension monte au fil des jours. D’un côté des gardiens bienveillants, de l’autre des détenus vaincus par la peur et le stress. Des rapports d’amitié et de haine, de respect et de révolte se nouent jusqu’à l’annonce du renvoi vécu comme une trahison. Ceux qui refusent de partir et susceptible d'opposer une forte résistance physique sont menottés, ligotés et installés de force dans un avion pour un « vol spécial » qui se déroule la plupart du temps dans la détresse et l’humiliation.

Dans ce lieu de transit austère, soumis à un régime de semi-détention et à une oisiveté forcée, deux cents cinquante hommes, femmes et enfants de toute origine attendent, entre un passé douloureux et un avenir incertain, que la Confédération décide de leur sort.
