Gates of Europe

Synopsis

With unprecedented three-year access to Frontex, Europe’s controversial border agency, Gates of Europe goes inside the fight over how the continent guards its edges. Through the eyes of Frontex’s new Executive Director, border guards, politicians, activists, and survivors, the series traces one of Europe’s most urgent fault lines: can it secure its borders without abandoning its values?
