The Pickers The Pickers

Elke Sasse / Germany / 2024 / 80 min / Urdu, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Greek, English, Arabic, Bambara

The film takes us to fields across Europe growing our fruit and vegetables. Seydou, from Mali, picks oranges in southern Italy. He has no contract and is paid by the crate, living in a hut he built himself in a settlement without water or electricity… Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain—over two million migrant workers labour across Europe’s fields, most without contracts and earning minimum wage, some undocumented and deep in debt with agents.

The documentary New Classmates explores the background of Kosovar immigration and the challenges their children face integrating into a new country. It highlights the stories of four children of immigrant families and their parents, who face various obstacles due to their ethnic background and limited knowledge of the Slovenian language.
