Description

Deep in Mali, on the edge of the Sahel Desert, lies the peaceful city of Gao—a quiet way station for passersby with their eyes set on Europe in hopes of opportunity, safety and a better future. As migration flows from southern countries like Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin, the people of Gao maintain a safe haven where tired travellers seek refuge and immigration support before continuing their journey into Algeria and beyond. The Last Shelter is an emotional portrait of this town and the generous people who live in it. Samah Ali
