Abdelraouf. 40 years old. Sudanese | His parents lived in a round house made of branches and thatch. He remembers swimming in the Nile, wheat fields, and family harvests. Abdelraouf misses this time when there were no barriers between houses or between people. In 2013, he left Sudan for Libya because of the war. But war broke out there too, pushing him to flee to Europe. When he arrived in Calais, he thought he would simply buy a train ticket to London, but the other refugees explained to him that he had to hide in a truck. He refused at first, finding it too humiliating. But since then, he has come to terms with it and has been trying almost every day for over a year. Today he is tired of hiding, tired of failing, tired of the violence of some police officers. | Calais, France 2016
