Seaview: Over three years, the filmmakers lived in Mosney, gaining the
trust of the residents. Intensely close conversations reveal their
individual stories, from the epic to the everyday. From Congo, Kurdistan,
Nigeria, Somalia, Sri Lanka, we hear why people are forced to leave
everything they have and move to a country where they are total
strangers. And we learn of the trauma of waiting – living in fear in
this bizarre no-mans-land.

What you are suggesting is that the indigenous people of any land have no rights, and that huge bands of migrants can freely travel and exploit people's resources and move on once the well runs dry. Will this No Borders campaign mean that larger nations can replace smaller nations through population migration, or that people like the Native American Indians must give up their Reservation Lands to colonial settelers? This is merely Imperial Colonialism disguised as the Freedom to Travel, and thousands of small communities and stuggling cultures will be wiped out to pave the way for neo-liberal industrialism. The fact that there is hardly a truly free nation in the world, and all are under occupation by the Banks, Multi-naitonal companies, Communism, Imperialism, Dictatorships and Monarchs, means you'll only end up reinforcing the repression of the ordinary man and woman. Shame on you ill thought out plans.
