Stories like this make me so horrendously furious. Please stop pretending that we in the West are the good guys in this situation because we have proved that we aren't. We're just the ones born geographically lucky. It's heartbreaking.
This isn't a book to be judged but one that everyone who has the ability to vote should be forced to read and analyze the images.
My dog had to keep comforting me because he sensed my anger and frustration.

This affected me so much, an incredibly moving account of an artist's time volunteering at The Jungle camp in Calais in 2016 and the beautiful humanity she found there against a backdrop of desperation.

I am glad Evans is highlighting the terrible conditions of the Calais and Dunkirk refugee camps, and some of the storytelling and framing is interesting. However, she takes a glib tone a little too frequently and likes to hit you over the head with metaphor. And I'm not a huge fan of her artistic style.

I’ve been reading more non-fiction graphic memoirs lately and I’ve found them to be great sources of information about situations around the world that I otherwise knew little about.
This one is no exception. It documents the author’s time volunteering at a migrant camp in Calais, France and the treatment that the refugees faced there. As an American, I have only been aware of vague details of the refugees arriving in EU countries. This really helped me understand the enormity of the suffering.
I would highly recommend this to others who want a better understanding of one of the biggest human issues in the world today.

Stunning piece of comics journalism about the conditions that refugees live in under European austerity.
