About Reopening Europe and the 28-minute film
The Covid-19 pandemic reversed the decades-long project of open European borders. But at the same time it provided a moment for reflection. In June 2020 when borders reopened, the Reopening Europe project captured stories of diverse European citizens on the ground during a road trip through eight countries. From politicians and business leaders to artists and youth leaders, shared how the pandemic has impacted their lives in terms of precarity, along with hopes and fears for Europe going forward. Supported by renowned Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, a 28-minute documentary was released in September 2020.

About our partner Reopening Europe
Reopening Europe is an activist, research, and storytelling project which explored “the borders of European people at a tidal moment in global history” through a June 2020 road trip and a programme of following activities, supported by prominent Brussels-based think tank Bruegel.
