"Eldorado" is a documentary inspired by director Markus Imhoof’s childhood relationship with an Italian girl just after World War II. His Swiss family took her in briefly as a refugee, and through this personal story we see parallels with today's refugee crisis. With amazing access, Imhoof takes audiences through the Italian warships and asylum hearings which reject refugees at all levels.
