High in the French Alps, on the border between Italy and France, African migrants fleeing war, poverty, and political persecution risk their lives on dangerous mountain routes. Witnessing the increasing influx of refugees, the local communities in the Roya Valley offer shelter, food, and legal counselling in an act of solidarity. However, providing assistance to undocumented migrants is a criminal offence, putting these helpers at odds with the law. The state soon militarizes the valley, targeting both refugees and their supporters.
