As a quiet observation and evidence of the failure of Europe at its core, it's perfect. As soon as it tries to be an informatively engaged documentary, Ai WeiWei's lack of filmmaking sensibility and tendency towards megalomania becomes apparent. It truly hits bottom whenever the great savior himself starts parading in front of the camera, nodding his head sensitively. Fortunately this doesn't happen too often. Still, you’ll be surprised that out of 900 hours of footage, the final cut includes a shot of a fat WeiWei unable to fit through a revolving door. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my hoodie this time either. (I mean, in 2015 I participated in a couple of refugee fundraisers, and during one I accidentally threw my beloved Solstafir hoodie into the pile of donated clothes, which some lucky refugee must be wearing now. Since then, I’ve been carefully searching through all the photos of refugees from the Balkans to see if I can find one wearing it somewhere, and if I can somehow arrange to get it back. No luck yet.)

When I watch a documentary like this, I fully realize that I am truly fortunate in the way I live my life and that I don't have to put myself in the situation of the people described here. We condemn refugees, we fear them, and we don't really get to interact with them, but it's just a natural part of settling the Earth.
