Sitting on a bench in the corner of Berlin’s central station Wednesday, Olivier Mani and Blanche Bikie, from Cameroon, and Keita Sekou, from Ivory Coast, described their arduous, days-long journeys from Kyiv, where they were attending university.

Bikie and Mani said they tried the Polish border a second time the next day, and were segregated again.

The three said they planned to head on to France, where Bikie has family.

He fled Australia in 2006, after facing attempts on his life by the Bandidos bikie gang.

Yet the film not only recovers but winds up as a testament to female resilience, thanks to the Vuvalini—a small and leathery tribe of matriarchs, described by the film’s production designer as “lovely old bikie chicks.”
