“You will survive”

– a European epos

Aske Jonatan Kreilgaard

Aske Jonatan Kreilgaard

At the age of 22, Aske set off from Denmark, heading south. On foot. He felt empty inside and decided to leave everything behind in search of something more meaningful. He ended up in “The Jungle” of Calais, the notorious refugee camp. The meeting with the children and youth in the camp – and the experiences he shares with them – teach him many lessons. He starts to understand the meaning of joy and despair for real.
