Bis zu 1000 Kinder tummeln sich am Wochenende im Hafen von Tanger im Norden Marokkos. Ihr einziges Ziel: Europa. Sie werden von ihren Eltern geschickt oder versuchen es auf eigene Faust. Seit die Europäische Union immer strengere Regeln für die Immigration von Erwachsenen auflegt, suchen die Familien im Norden von Afrika nach neuen Wegen ins Paradies - und schicken ihre Kinder, die sich in Lastwagen und Containern verstecken - mit der Hoffnung nicht sofort von den europäischen Behörden zurück geschickt zu werden, sondern eine Ausbildung und später Arbeit zu bekommen, um ihre Familien zu unterstützen. Denn die Kinder genießen zumindest bisher weitergehende Schutzrechte als die Erwachsenen. Wie viele auf diesem Weg ums Leben kommen, weiß keiner. Producer: Ruth Reichstein, June 2008.

What lengths would you go to if you found out that your neighbours were being threatened with deportation? All over the country, UK communities are organising themselves to stop their friends and neighbours being deported.

Rachel Stevenson and Harriet Grant are both journalists – they met up with some of the people involved. In this interview for Refugee Week Radio they talk about what they found and about their film ‘The Resistance: On The Deportation Frontline’ (GuardianFilms).
