The Last Days of the Calais Jungle

Available for over a year

At the end of October the French authorities dismantled the Calais migrant camp known as the ‘Jungle’, where thousands of people from as far away as Africa and the Middle East lived in squalid conditions, hoping to enter the UK. The BBC’s Gavin Lee spent time in the camp as its last days unfolded, meeting some of its inhabitants and finding out how they reacted to its demise – and the end of their British dreams.
