MIMOUNE

Illegal immigration is not only a problem for our society. Not only does the illegal immigrant suffer from social uprooting but also the most difficult part of this situation: the family division.

This document was born of the desire to bring together, even if it was only through a camera, a family that since long ago wishes so.
