Calais. A city where the roads are lined by high fences topped with barbed wire. In Episode Eight we have arrived in this northern French port, where migrants can see the white cliffs of Dover, their destination, just the other side of the Channel. Those who have run out of money try their luck on the lorries, others hope to pay smugglers thousands of euros to cross in small boats. The police patrols are everywhere. Migrants here are regularly evicted from camps in the scrubland, by the side of the road, or in the forests, but still they stay and wait for the day their luck might turn.
