Calais, Port of Hope and Despair

A view on the port of Dover, England. Seen from the window of a ferri approaching the port. Calais, France, June 2014. For the last 20 years the French city of Calais, with links from the European continent to the United Kingdom through its port has become the last milestone for migrants fleeing wars, oppressive regimes and economic depressions around the world. The migrants, after years spent travelling from their home countries such as Mali, Sudan, Eritrea, Afghanistan Iran, and most recently Syria, smuggle themselves inside container trucks that from Calais will hopefully take them to the United Kingdom.
