http://homemcr.org/film/preview-the-crossing/ - Showing at HOME Manchester in January

The first feature film from Manchester-based director Jason Wingard, The Crossing is a bold mix of documentary and fictional drama, shot over a year in the Calais Jungle. Adnan (Elie Haddad) and Bana (Toyah Frantzen) have left war-torn Syria in order to reach the UK. Traveling through Europe with money running low, they are forced into the notorious Calais Jungle.

Faced with the prospect of a risky illegal entry to the UK or the squalor of the camp they decide to take their chances on the trucks and ferry in a desperate bid to make it to the UK.
