JOURNEY
SITE
Currently, there are milions of migrants on a journey to the UK for better opportunities. These people are traveling to the UK, which recently withdrew from the European Union, because of the EU policy that requires a person to apply for asylum in the first EU country they arrive at. They reside in Calais, France before completing the dangerous journey across the English Channel, not knowing if they will be accepted once on UK soil or if they will successfully cross the channel.
Site: Calais, France
Many people are emigrating from Albania which is struggling with government and police corruption, economic instability, a large-scale black-market economy, an increase in human and drug trafficking gangs, high rates of domestic violence, and a physiologically traumatized population.
