Documentary 'On the Border' Examines EU Migration Policy Failures in Niger

The documentary 'On the Border' analyzes European Union migration strategies in Niger, focusing on the EUCAP mission led by German police officer Antje Pittelkau in 2018. The film demonstrates how initial claims of success were followed by policy failure six years later, coinciding with political instability after a military coup against President Mohamed Bazoum. The work presents Niger as a case study for broader European border management challenges in Africa.
