Protest Through Sewn Lips: Breaking Borders

Synopsis

In Calais, the demolition of the southern area of the refugee camp, known as the jungle, is underway. Authorities claim only 1,000 people will be affected, but charities argue that the number is closer to 3,000. A nun from the Middle East highlights the desperation of refugees, as many have lost their homes and belongings during the police start of the demolition. One refugee recounts returning from lunch to find their house completely destroyed, losing everything they owned. The atmosphere in Calais has shifted dramatically, with once-thriving restaurants now burned down and a sense of community dissipating. As refugees face an uncertain future, their hopes of reaching the UK diminish, leaving them in a state of despair and uncertainty.
