I have been in Calais for the first time in 2016 and in 5 years not much has changed. After visiting Gaziantep in Turkey, Lesbos and Athens in Greece and finally Velika Kladusa in Bosnia, I felt it was necessary to come back to my home country and see with my own eyes what is happening there.

​

Calais is the last step. For some England is a dream since they left home but for most of them it is their last chance. They went through Libya and Italy, through turkey, Greece and the Balkans, they come from everywhere to cross the English channel. Nothing can stop them. Not the daily harassment from the police, not the inhumain living conditions, not the constant violent environment. They are ready to risk their lives one more time using rubber boats or hiding in a truck.

​

I have to admit Calais was the most complicated place I have been to, in terms of interviewing asylum seekers. They are tired, depressed, without any will. They only have one thing in mind, crossing.
