Through nine culinary chapters, the film outlines the story of Metka Autor, an 80-year-old lady from Maribor, Slovenia, who left for Germany as a temporary worker in 1968, aged 28, and stayed. Her experience of being a “Gastarbeiter” has had such an effect on her that she feels nothing but generosity and warmth for the migrants of today.

In the process of making Newsreel, Metka restored my faith in humans time and time again, with every visit. She restored my hope after I’d started losing it in the face of all the inhumanity I’ve documented with my camera in the last three years on the EU borders, where refugees go through unimaginable suffering. Metka showed me again and again that solidarity and hospitality and the simplest of gestures, and that ‘together’, ‘common’ and ‘community’ are possible, here and now.
