Migration podcast It Can Be Done returns for its second episode, continuing the story of a team of lawyers, activists and organisers who come together to reunite children in Calais refugee camp, the jungle, with their families in the UK.
During the summer of 2015 thousands of refugees found themselves trapped in the “jungle”, an unofficial camp in Calais, France.
Two English lawyers travelled to the jungle and were shocked to discover unaccompanied children living in unsafe, squalid conditions.
In the second episode of It Can Be Done, a Syrian businessman discovers the harsh reality of life in the jungle, a British community organiser is moved to visit Calais and tries to help, and lawyers look to European Union asylum law for a solution.
