The band “The Refugees” consists of refugees between the stage and the asylum seekers' home. They have arrived and yet are still on the run. A docu about very special musicians. They have arrived and yet are still on the run. They're singers, musicians and rappers, but they remain marginalized and excluded from their host societies. With their music they bring pleasure and inspiration to thousands, yet they still are prohibited from moving freely. Interned in refugee camps and condemned to immobility, the protagonists' everyday experiences as displaced persons are shocking. Enter Heinz Ratz. He has visited 80 homes for asylum seekers, and there he found world-class musicians. "The tales of escape are dramatic and the refugees themselves are modern heroes, like Odysseus." (taz)
