01: Journey
In our first issue, we travel from Serbia to the French-Italian border, to the North of England, and the often-maligned city of Calais to explore the journey undertaken by asylum seekers in search of sanctuary and the ordinary citizens living in the towns and communities caught up in the largest mass movement of people across Europe since World War II.
We learn why some Cuban asylum seekers are being drawn to Serbia, as entry to the United States has become more difficult; and hear how the residents of La Roya responded when thousands of asylum seekers suddenly arrived in their otherwise quiet valley. We visit Calais, a city known to most only as the former site of the “Jungle”, to see what has changed; and newly-arrived asylum seekers share their mixed experiences as they navigate British society. We hear from those who call Ireland home while having a dual sense of national identity; and we visit Istanbul as record snowfall brought the city to a stop.

What's inside:
Calais Belle Ma Ville
Calais has become synonymous with some of the most controversial aspects of the "refugee crisis" and is known to most only as the former site of the "Jungle". Now efforts to rebuild a troubled tourism industry are underway – but not everyone agrees on the direction.
Crossing the Valley
After border checks were temporarily reintroduced in the wake of the Paris Attacks, we see how the residents of La Roya responded when thousands of asylum seekers suddenly arrived in their otherwise quiet valley.
After Arrival
Having travelled across Europe to reach the UK, asylum seekers then face a second journey as they adjust to British society. It is a journey that can often be as physically and mentally challenging as the first.
The Cuban Connection
We learn why some Cuban asylum seekers are being drawn to Serbia, as entry to the United States has become increasingly difficult.
Global Ireland
Irish photographer Jonathan Ho photographed those who call Ireland home, while having a dual or shared sense of national and cultural identity.
After the Snow
Istanbul has been through a lot in recent years. But in January 2017, as more than a foot of snow began to fall, everything came to a stop.
