About this movie

Alex (Vera Vitali) is seized on the street outside the grocery store and taken to an underground prison where people are locked up to await deportation. Viktoria (Pernilla August) is the director of the facility, and she rules with an iron fist. From the moment Alex arrives, she is determined to escape, no matter the cost. After making her debut with the critically praised "She Monkeys" Lisa Aschan is back with "White People" - a topical film about power and hierarchy. Will you eat or be eaten? Also appearing, alongside Pernilla August and Vera Vitali, are Issaka Sawadogo, Aliette Opheim, Emil Almén, and Bahador Foladi.

Ratings and reviews

It's an excellent look at the other side of the immigration debate and one of the most oppressive movies I have ever seen. I can't recommend it enough
