Opening program in series on labour and migration across the eastern borders of the European Union.
[oops - notes to part2 appear in a separate program]
Written and produced by Kristin Schwartz -- kristin@ckln.fm "Transitmigration" audio produced by Ultra Red Thanks to all guests, as well as organizers and participants of the Border04 tour and Peoples Global Action.
In July 2004 anti-racist researchers and activists toured Serbia, Romania, Ukraine and Poland to meet with refugees, migrants, and their advocates. Our goal was to understand better how people are moving across the eastern borders of Europe and how to support that movement. This opening program explores the meaning of "Fortress Europe" and the "competition" between those who try to control the borders and those who are bent on crossing them. With interviews and performance.
