Zurich: Voices from the Squatted Church (3)

Before Saturday's demonstration and the upcoming resettlement to the Church St. Jakob on Sunday, the squatters of the "Prediger" Church in Zurich are still committed to their struggle. Meanwhile, pressure from the media and the church increases and calls for the refugees to leave get louder.

In the short film, three migrants from Guinea-Bissau, Iran and Iraq and an activist of the local support committee talk about the current situation and problems and offer an insight to their mechanisms of collective organization.
