| Summary: | Transit Zone' is an authentic insight into the life in the jungle of Calais from the perspective of 'Teefa', a refugee from Sudan. His dream is to make it one day onto one of the lorries leading to the UK - and hopefully a better life. But despite a remarkable sense of community, the conditions in the jungle are harsh and taking its toll. Teefa has spent almost half a year in the camp and is tired of trying to cross, as only a few are lucky enough to succeed. After all jungles are evicted by the police in order to move the refugees to a new camp, Teefa starts to question the greatness of Britain and considers other options instead. |
