In "Living with
Illegals", award-winning journalist Sorious Samura
becomes an illegal immigrant. His journey is epic as
he travels from Morocco into Europe through Spain
and France, finally crossing the English Channel to
Britain. Samura wants to understand the reality of
being an illegal immigrant, so he lives in the exact
same conditions and experiences the same gruelling
hardships as his companions. The story begins in
Northern Morocco, where hundreds of illegal
immigrants live in forests waiting for their chance
to break into the enclave of Ceuta, a Spanish
enclave in Africa. For them, Europe means work: "I
am ready to do any kind of job. If I have to I'll
wash the toilets, bathrooms or train stations and
I'll be very happy. Forget I am a graduate". All
that separates them from Ceuta and Europe is a 50
km, 6 m fence, around which they camp. Huddled
together in cold, flimsy tents and hounded by daily
police raids, the immigrants struggle to survive
with no food, money or peace of mind. |
