This was filmed on the last day of the first Marche Solidaire in Calais, France, at the Calais Ferry Port on 7th July 2018. This peaceful protest, organised by Auberge des Migrants, aimed to raise awareness of the plight of refugees stuck at borders in their attempts to reach various European countries from their war torn countries across Africa and the Middle East.

The participants had walked the 1400 kilometres/870 miles in 60 stages from Vintimille, near the Italian-French border, starting on 28th April and arriving in Calais on 7th July.

Groups and individuals could make the whole journey or just travel particular parts of the route. This last leg of the journey from Gravelines to Calais travelled past the original Jungle (eventually home to 10,000 people, and dismantled in October, 2016), situated to the East of the N216 motorway.

Local people had the opportunity to join the march at Rue des Mouettes, from where everyone walked to the area where the refugees now congregated, near Rue des Verrotières on the opposite side of the motorway, to meet some of those refugees who were happy to do so, and enjoy food and entertainment together.

After this the march travelled through the port area, past the Calais Ferry Port where the participants and supporters tied strips of black fabric onto the mesh fence in protest at the closed border - then on to the town centre where further peaceful demonstrations took place, before arriving at Le Channel, an arts centre with bars and restaurants, where again food and drink, music and art activities were enjoyed after the concluding speeches.
