Living conditions throughout the camp are basic. Electricity comes from an illegal tap of a nearby power cable and is unstable and unsafe – earlier that year, one resident was electrocuted. Large families live in caravans or cobbled-together shacks. Many of the residents here work as fruit pickers in the surrounding area for the minimum wage, keeping the region’s farms running. Their wages support the rest of the community. Some turn to robberies and smuggling, where a few hours work can bring in the equivalent of a week’s minimum wage. The presence of this camp incites the anger of local residents, who blame them for all sorts of troubles: vandalism, burglaries and harassment.
This documentary was produced by Keep Shooting and directed by Guillaume Martin and Grégoire Deniau. It was first released in 2014.
