Frontex, the EU's border protection agency, has spent years fending off accusations of cover-ups and human rights violations. This film asks whether a change of leadership has actually changed anything. A team of journalists gets access to Frontex headquarters in Warsaw, filming as officials track boats carrying migrants across the Mediterranean and decide how to respond. New Frontex chief Hans Leijtens lays out his strategy for the agency going forward, while former employees describe what went wrong under his predecessor. The film also follows Fabrice Leggeri, the former Frontex head widely blamed for past scandals, campaigning for the European Parliament on a far-right ticket in France. Reporters investigate fresh claims of illegal pushbacks at the EU's borders, pressing officials on the gap between the agency's new transparency messaging and what is still happening at sea. The result is a pointed look at whether reform at Frontex is real or cosmetic.
