In The Trek, Bram Vermeulen travels through Africa to get to know the key players in the migration debate. The Trek is a current and urgent travel series, close to the migrants in an attempt to understand more about the main debate topic of our time. It is about the migrants, and thus, also about ourselves. Original Title: De gedeporteerde. While the debate over immigration rages African migrants are being massively deported and returned to their homeland in silence. Brussels pays the local governments millions for that. But what happens after such a deportation?
In Lagos we look for deportees and hear the story of their expulsion. And we see how they build their lives in Nigeria (again).
