Migrants in Calais

Calais is a crossing point for migrants hoping (for a majority) to reach England. Intense collaboration between French and British authorities to strengthen security around potential embarkation points (highway area, port, train station, etc..) makes extremely difficult the crossing. Migrants stay here weeks or even months wandering in the Calais region in the hope of crossing. Days of inactivity waiting attempts to pass the night. Story made in 2007-2008.
