This is so infuriating. The country didn’t disappear overnight. The land is still there, they could have sent hum back. Even if the country was nuked to ashes, they could just accept him as a political refugee.

I honestly don’t know, I remember someone got trapped at an airport once because their country stopped existing while they were there

It was someone suffering from a mental illness or personality disorder. They went out of their way to be stuck at the airport. Refused help from family, refused help from a reporter who actually went through the trouble of proving his citizenship. He wanted to be at that airport and live that life.

Tom Hanks made a documentary about it.

Are you talking about The Terminal? Unless he made a second movie about the same guy, the word"documentary" seems like a stretch.

I think they are using the term documentary as a joke.

I think they were making the type of joke where people will call movies “documentaries” when they’re really “fiction that can kind of almost be attributed to real events”
