In the Roya Valley located between France and Italy, thousands of migrants try to cross the border each month. Local farmer Cédric Herrou has been welcoming migrants at his home since the beginning of the crisis, turning his backyard into a much-needed shelter. He challenges French immigration policies that make it impossible for these families to set foot on French ground and seek asylum and will do anything to help them, even risking his own freedom. Golden Eye – Special Jury Mention at the Cannes Film Festival.
Speaker: Karen Glover, Director of Communications at the Immigrant Learning Center
