Keine Ausbildung wegen der F-Bewilligung?

In 2020 Saeed Farkhondeh filmed his own daily life in a Swiss return centre for rejected asylum seekers, because a camera team was not allowed inside. His footage reached a lot of people and showed how narrow and uncertain life in such a centre can be for a family of six.

Six years later the film meets him again. He has his own flat, works at a day school and coaches junior footballers, and his family has left the centre. What has not changed are the limits set by his residence permit, on travelling, on training and on finding work.
