Laissez-passer. Documenting the harsh reality of immigrants in Switzerland, their difficult integration and acceptance into new realities, Ghamkin Saleh of Syrian-Kurdish base, sought to present the laws of social migration for 3 characters from Syria, Iraq and Sudan. Seeking their fortune in Switzerland for a better life, their rights for higher learning go unrecognized in a system they are foreign to, yet must adept after leaving their homeland. Caught in a stalemate, they fight against themselves, not knowing what their lacking recognition holds.
Ghamkin graduated with a music diploma from Syria, and then fled to Switzerland, where he now lives since 1994. In 2009 he received a degree in the film studies program at the F + F School for Arts and Media Design in Zurich, and founded a film production house titled GmBH, to recognize filmmakers with migratory stories.
