Inexperienced members of the Dutch Border Patrol undergo an intensive training on escorting refused asylum seekers to their ‘country of origin’. To what extend can you get emotionally involved, while deporting these rejected refugees to their ‘homeland’? ‘ESCORT’ approaches one of the most urgent political issues from a unique perspective.
