Walls of Shame Morocco/Spain
The city of Ceuta is the southernmost outpost of Fortress Europe - yet it's in Africa. Spain insists it will never relinquish control of the city, and has cordoned it off.
A documentary series about division, and about the barriers that men erect, in calculation or desperation, to separate themselves from others, or others from them. When diplomacy and conciliation fail, this is the alternative, and not since medieval times have walls been so in demand around the world. It matters little what they are called - walls, barriers or fences - the intention is the same: to redefine human relations into "us" and "them".
