The untold story of one of the world's hot spots where thousands of workers beast of burden in a struggle to survive. One hundred meters away takes place in Melilla, the terrestrial border between Africa and Europe; a portion of Europe wedged in the African continent, where mobs gather to fight for the scraps of a booming business: smuggling, while waiting for a chance to better their lives. Meanwhile, the Global economy moves on inextricably oblivious of its influence over simple human beings.

Module 8 shows what happens in Spain when someone ends up in jail, also what goes on when they leave it behind. We share the day to day existence of the prisoners at a penitentiary center in Mansilla de Las Mulas (León), where the authorities had started to apply a new system of reinsertion which is turning upside down the penitentiary world. Module 8 raises a question we often times avoid: What are jails good for?

A sea in between. Most European countries had to deal with uneven results with the so called “integration” of the second generation of migrant citizens. In Spain right now we could take good note of the experiences of close countries like Belgium, France or Germany, where situations of tension and even violence have been experienced throughout the years. There is a proliferation of Ghetto-like comunities and as of today, nobody dares to anticipate what future is there for these legal and the facto European itizens, that feel they don’t belong anywhere.

Cell Gen. Cell phones ceased being a simple communication device to become an icon of our times, where apparently there are no frontiers or limits to its expansion. In the early eighties cell phones were seeing as something from a science fiction novel and within less than a decade they had grown in epidemic proportions to melt with our life style. Today it will be impossible to imagine a world without its presence: in most European countries there are more active cell phones than inhabitants.

Looking for Hackers is a documentary that intends to open or to “hack” our preconceived ideas about what is a Hacker, and introduce us to what the new century and the new millennium has prepared for us; the new ethical and moral standpoint that this new technological revolution has to offer and that manifests itself in our daily life from different parts of our mental geography and various places of our society.

The Web conforms and welcomes this new geography of the world that upholds itself on concepts that crash with archaic power structures that still govern our lives: this new map knows little of border lines, does not stop to think about clashes of civilizations, ignoring old work ways and the power relations originated.

Behind the screen we will see new faces, different from those created by the mass media where spoiled brats play to break security codes and to create corporate-unmerciful virus. These faces introduce new life style options, new job choices beyond from the big corporation, and joined together by the fight for Free software that, like every other language, does not belong to anybody. Their philosophy brings together different new and inclusive visions, where races, genders, creeds and ages melt within this medley of information without an owner. Come to the world of Hackers of the XXI Century, you may be one of them.

Al-Hoceima, a city located in the Central Riff in northern Morocco, is where for the last three generations, migration to Europe has become the sole prospect for the future. As a consequence, traditional culture in the Riff is dissapearing. In it's place there is no alternatives, no new plans and therefore inmigration remains as the only solution. This is the vicious circle in which Rif's society is caught. A homemaker, a taxi driver, a social worker, an entrepreneur, an artist, a feminist militant and some other characters will show us a reality, near geographically, but unknown to most European citizens. City of wait wants to confront the partial views that distract us from the very fact that, behind each immigrant there is always the life of a migrant person.
