Hunted children

Director Thomas Blom shows how the political desire to stem the flow of asylum seekers led to a policy of deterrence. As a result, even rejected families with children were thrown out onto the streets. Angolan mother Louise Ferreira challenged this policy and won the legal battle. Her own case didn't yield much. The filmmakers visit her in a slum in Luanda, where she lives with her two children, who grew up in the Netherlands.
