The image of Europe that exists in Africa of the continent of opportunities does often not resemble reality: once there, most immigrants hardly can make a living. Two years ago, Ssuuna Goloba, a Ugandan who lives for 4 years undocumented in Europe and wants to return home, approached a film production company in Amsterdam with his desire to make a film that shows his people at home what life really is like for him and fellow immigrants. The result, Surprising Europe is an international cross-media project that aims to contribute debate about immigration from Africa to Europe and consists of a 7 part TV series, a website and a documentary. Producer Rogier de Wit together with Ssuuna Goloba will show their work in progress and discuss the experiences of Ssuuna and other migrants.
