About the Sandbox:

In an age defined by mass migration, migrants and refugees stand among the world’s most vulnerable people. Yet their vulnerability is often weaponized, used as an excuse for surveillance and ever-expanding border technologies across land and sea and in the sky.

In this urgent, artful debut, director Kenya-Jade Pinto pulls back the curtain on the border industrial machine, revealing how the very technologies sold as protection are used to control, intimidate and sometimes kill migrants and refugees.

On the frontlines, people like investigative journalists Lydia Emmanouilidou and search-and-rescue volunteer James Holeman push back by challenging power, confronting brutality and offering a counterweight to the systems they expose.

With masterful editing and gorgeous cinematography, The Sandbox is a stark, gripping wake-up call that reveals the human cost of systems of security.
