OPEN FLOOR IN THE JUNGLE

We offered 3 days of Open Floor workshops in the Jungle, Calais, for the residents there and some volunteers also joined in! We hope that this video will help to spread the word about the plight of the 6,000 people living in appalling conditions in the Jungle, including over 350 unaccompanied children. Despite the conditions, we really found 'Something Beautiful' there. No other song could do this video justice, copyright is with Alexi Murdoch, song is 'Something Beautiful'.
