8:33 am
remarkable people risking their lives to help the disabled in between afghanistan on al-jazeera. desperate for a press and laws millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams are sanctuary and well realized sometimes disenchantment has to listen to dry food. in the 1st of 2 films on these conflicting experiences people in power has been to the gym and switching but generosity and open house just have been making my kids too crazy with.
8:34 am
santa. this shiny. no fly home style nice muscle to have that done oh my tennis is she's. under the skin of what is then the one hand puzzle hardly anyone at all and the most capable hilton in that in she. saud a mother of 4 is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe. trying. to. look. as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and
8:35 am
sometimes dangerous. came out and said doing. something on thought i should see on your side and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until kid. she didn't want to. join anymore. he did then moved and then did so and you know you know i didn't think. now so i don't have family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west in germany and among those to whom i. want to have it all my land there he had a buffer so it. must it that been here at least understand this mission in 6 months there's going to. since 20 foot team germany has taken in more than one and
8:36 am
a half 1000000 refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new boomtown by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. as a school does slender d.z. are now. on the fence to no desire to get in on this is caught. up with such a risk to his startup i lined us. to see our factories it was going to be a fish can see what they think of you don't know and this puts it on this fertility . with around $70000.00 inhabitants was also to accept $700.00 migrants equivalent to about one percent of its population. the initial public response was cautious we started to give you some of migrants again but that's hard to trivialities did you know before my family through field of
8:37 am
mention all from name on genes are found. trying to push can think and every 2 weeks i think there's another. tell of the. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense anymore. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events good eyes by the authorities. cafe welcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and ask questions over was their concerns and we had people asking things like why do they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart they're
8:38 am
supposed to be poor so it's an idea. actually supposed to be other ways they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that not really has said we want to make this walk and really want to be a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that saw the hopeful children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of a drama group called fragile theater drawn mainly from refugees.
8:39 am
to professional performers marianne from france and her german friend roots who run the project so the life and mine. the group has been brought together in this paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. to put this if. you go to. the group is going to be performing a piece inspired by their own stories you know just. the name did not.
8:40 am
8:41 am
but after all this is like drama when i'm alone sometimes i. so when i play before this make me forget. 33 year old emmanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for 2 and a half years. but his future is uncertain. unable to return home because his life is still at risk he applied for asylum 18 months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he will be allowed to stay in germany. in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local church so. maybe i'm delighted to see you sir. chairman of. the house when a fellow for supporting everyone is there for. even like
8:42 am
a film i thought ok. result in local authority sort of. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he caught bad to display photos of them in his apartment. well it's so hard love to look at them in been 6 years without seeing them. even to talk with their love for some time is painful i miss them so much i want to talk to them but when i was there when i was like why did i call it like i because i don't want to hear what is happening in our the we never talk even when we call us we are just crying. she's crying my mother screaming
8:43 am
crying my not. mario and the director of the drama group has come to visit. you. should he says here yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany and how he's been managing since he got to detmold he story along with those of the other refugee act is will be woven into the script i think ted has you know been. told to must i think it could as you just saw i think the timeline yazd it doesn't just sound that has shifted and yes you put his but what does it mean for you safety for. safety it's like a place where all those who see it and you feel you feel that that is a lot of people people who love you around you. if there is look of all who love
8:44 am
your show you don't feel as if. we have people we are you know we are all just and that's why we come to you at all because if it doesn't you know that is qualified to sound like a put out dissent of the part of the house to say a lot of different country or disgrace and this was the will of the field that he is dead as you would write so we feel like if you thought one of us if. emanuel isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theater so i was also keen to show how positive experience of arrival in germany i'm to gratitude at the welcome has received. even the thoughts of home a never far away quietly and i say. oh hi there was any of. she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children a fortunate they come from one of the 5 countries given priority status by the
8:45 am
german states iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help is provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to more permanent accommodation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating for. up almost home i want to see and deal with name calling on his hands in laos a call to an. office on l.a.'s. in addition to the housing so i would receives around $1000.00 euros a month to support herself and her family and 2 children were immediately inroad in local schools. 18 months after their arrival 7 year old that i one now speaks german as well as she speaks arabic and is even starting to learn english i can't stand you. when when you that there's
8:46 am
good to be here in. fact. a local charity worker sabina has been helping the family through their arrival in germany so you did feel good doing here at home. today she has some good news for so our son who's ambitious to one day be an electrical engineer has managed to find him some vocational training which will begin in a few weeks. but these are follow from jokes until i was just a little you know it was rather distributed pushing so-called a kind on ford and. when you have something new or interesting to. know it's all fairy tales are coming here from syria and iran want to study quite difficult to adapt to the german system that quickly to get into the language that
8:47 am
if you come in that level to study 2 countries another way you can do an apprenticeship and if you want to lose study lecturing electrical engineering as you do in a print you should like it as an electrician and have loads of knowledge. as part of its integration program the german government has insisted that all new arrivals learn german. every morning so on sets off to school for 4 hours of lessons. any model their body their stalls any fee that may also that might be all be all is how we am are highly. yeah sure it would be more. than a bit to stand a bit i'm all for names i know cargo but to you joe. as i know fargo collins even visited me to come here missing in the middle. of the mall.
8:48 am
villani merced it is easy in deutsch to let me bend. here and do this much to play a against such funny money in my own bitchy funny again easy again you know if you don't see him live and if you're doing this to my needs to. chill who would stop the shadow i know fargo didn't order the. good one in the year he wrote it like there is nothing good to see how do you know i. was working from so much in the. house. at. 90 it's about well living in germany speaking a little bit but not fluent to you so it's not a problem when you make some mistakes we have an examination. at the end of this course and a basic the most important thing is that they can speak and we can understand. our
8:49 am
language lessons are funded by the state and free for refugees from the 5 countries given party status by the german government but the oversubscribed with 200000 people nationally still a need to the place it means that not all the refugees and detmold have received the same treatment. if you are going forward on these drugs or have to get a free market bubbles in the us but there is a invest. in bed in the us of a shelf of proof is true to each of you i'm sure you talk off the shelf address here ok here it says yeah sorry that here is because he is from sudan which isn't on the government's priority list emanuel doesn't have access to as much support as other refugees so it's something of a sore point. for me i don't have it out until now to make a general calls for free it felt to me that you know how to play with us said.
8:50 am
why not me and live for years it's not like i would if you started other people. the language problem is still a common stumbling block to full integration there's plenty of work here in theory . in 2014 germany opened its doors to refugees promising gainful employment. with an aging population and a falling birthrate to countries and die in need of manpower but like many thousands of others emanuel will only really benefit when he can speak german competently. staying in recently or in the meantime he's restricted to unskilled was only $350.00 euros a month reasons for coming here. for now emmanuel works for a charitable organization it collects unwanted funicello to distribute free of charge to low income households. it's really just to get to our
8:51 am
place and if and. if i need someone is in need to come in our place. and if you see that something is going to take it. this is like shopping but without money. i understand the cereals need when someone is something so when i go daddy and some people commented on having to sing and to get something it's making you also feel good. how much you're going to i think you saw the need in the communal as i see it i never thought that the president of egypt i know i came over to digital the hottest new move if. i had a little robot that you know if there's a ship has again this will look very well don't you have to be back in sudan emanuel had a senior position at a 5 star hotel. but here in germany he must make do with work as
8:52 am
a removal man number less he considers himself internet for now. he is having real physical and mind things i visit to do some things not making the trip to go so i meet new people there is i have some celebrity every day i have to work morning. to do my job as a human being so it's helping a lot it's not only about money said believed to be healthy but even with a steady job under his belt emanuel fears that he will be allowed to stay in germany. to try to get. a strawman emissions have mission. you know it's a complete one up you know doesn't you know i said there's nothing in there but here is his german friend who really has been helping him with his residency application he loves she's my house she's my older and she's my best friend and this is the family and she's my everything with so many refugees to deal with the
8:53 am
state is swamped with asylum requests and sometimes it can take years before an application is processed. emanuel has been on the waiting list for 18 months for humanitarian reasons we ask for complete stopping off him being rejected and the things said from germany. i think we would be successful also in this because we we believe in him and there's enough proof that a man has been well integrated this working hand so it's good jobs as i think. away from the complex paperwork and concerns about employment and language skills the theater performance is finally coming together. as a section i'm guessing is activated in ny and some kalash. it is just this. design collage and this in no way to learn but as i
8:54 am
knew me i just feel if i see it is love. the theme for today's expulsion fear of which still haunts some of the refugees. actually mr shims in my limited time. the highest us. man of 19 a fool on. the un frizzy to. defund. plentiful. is a yakked of mention. conant. eventually just unleashed out. thank. you. and then all too quickly the big day arrives in debt most town square project
8:55 am
theatre could pack for that performance. entitled a meeting in paradise it's to be a possible reflection on what sanctuary in germany has given to the refugees on. ants run. them down. a you got your head out of the net it was downloaded a snake he did see give dazed in session ok i feel i feel the show begins with the story of the refugees his flight from home feel.
8:56 am
as if you did it to get this into this is this to me. this is bad just do this to. the but if you do get. in the 2nd top of the performance the audience is invited to get involved. so. they can taste the traditional soup listen to recitals from the migrants or sign up for some charge he was. pleased to do in the ninety's he stated this is a big thank you. thanks told you can go there and eat something all together there's a big beef with the good and the good as if somehow i did with and then to really add fuel relative to the old so like that was 50 shillings and it just was an
8:57 am
interesting is that enough for a nameless to be fired by ms but money by no means it would be wrong to conclude from this brief glimpse into germany's assimilation process no matter how successful it has been in detmold that refugee is a universally welcomed there is growing intolerance and frustration to be found here as elsewhere in europe and whether they do is remain open to migrants remains to be seen. for now though the $100.00 plus 1000000 years that is costing the german state seem to be being well satisfy us is just the beginning of next so when i tried to understand each other and to get together. i mean just altogether. 6.
8:58 am
desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of century are realized but sometimes disenchantment drive them home. in the 2nd of 2 films on these contrasting experiences people and power meets the returning migrants now determined to discourage others from following the same power. dandiya back home on al-jazeera. throughout history human kind has come together to prevail in our darkest moments this is a moment for pretty much their hopes for high laying low saving humankind by really really not getting near each and every generation has its moment where individual sacrifice makes way for the good of those who come after this war is
