The news investigation revealed the hidden border between Spain and Morocco, known as the 3550 parallel line. An invisible target, European authorities have deployed their arsenal there to prevent immigrants from bypassing them.

In 2018, the Alboran Sea in Spain experienced the largest immigration crisis in contemporary history, with over 64000 immigrants crossing the southern border. The change of Spanish government forced the change of immigration policy, which reduced the arrival of Patras by more than 50%.

But how did he do it? On August 3, 2018, Pedro Sanchez, the President of the Spanish government, announced the establishment of a unified border control management command, which would be under the authority of a colonel in the National Guard. Europe has also decided to provide funding to Morocco to reduce the influx of immigrants. Since its establishment, as well as the agreement with Morocco, some incidents have occurred at the southern border, and maritime rescue personnel and rescued individuals have started reporting on their own.

In January 2019, the rescue department stopped reporting on rescue missions. The border is silently militarized. Then, some audio entered the news team of the documentary in the summer of 2019. After two years of research and literature review, a new boundary has been confirmed, namely the 3550 parallel boundary.

The authorities have drawn an imaginary line in international waters. An invisible target, European authorities have deployed their arsenal there to prevent immigrants from bypassing them. This documentary reveals a new boundary that we cannot see, but we can hear. A border without power lines such as Ceuta or Melilla, a border without checkpoints, several kilometers away from human rights defenders, closed to journalists.
