"Welcome to Refugeestan" focuses on the way the UNHCR manages camps that shelter more than sixteen million refugees all around the world, creating a virtual country as large as the Netherlands. How does the UNHCR run these camps and train its representatives ? How can they deal with the urgent needs of thousands of new refugees that arrives each day ? How has this emergency response turned into a durable situation with an average stay of over fifteen years ? What are the long term perspectives for this kind of response to humanitarian urgency, which has until now succeeded in concealing the political aspects of this major issue ? The film was shot in various camps around the world - in Kenya, Tanzania, Jordan and on the border between Greece and Macedonia - as well as in UNHCR offices in France, England and Switzerland.
