    Synopsis

    They come in the night, tear families from their sleep, give them just enough time to pack and put them on a plane: this is the role of the so-called 'transportation commandos’ comprising police officers and immigration officials. In 2015, over 22,000 failed asylum seekers were deported from Germany.
    The documentary DEPORTATION CLASS presents a comprehensive view of this state enforcement measure for the first time: from detailed planning in the office to night-time operations at asylum seeker accommodation blocks and the arrival of asylum seekers back in their respective homelands – and the question of what awaits
    them there.http://www.deportation-class-film.de
