Escaping Greece

As many other abandoned places around the Harbour in Patras, this former wood factory gets used as a hideout by immigrants. In October about 40 refugees form Afghanistan lived there. Some of them are stuck in Greece for more than ten years. Everyday they try to sneak in to the nearby Harbour and get on a ferry to Italy. Equipped with a Leica M6 I stayed with the refugees for one week to learn about their lives and document their situation.
