Synopsis
Jenny and Gift, two sisters respectively 22 and 28 years old, are in North Niger, waiting to travel to Europe. They left Lagos, Nigeria, to join a smuggler in Agades. Upon their arrival, the initial price of their journey doubled and their smuggler forced them into prostitution. Without any representation in this country, they have no other choice. Kilometres from there, Prisca left Ivory Coast for Tunis, in the hope of reaching Europe. She heard about an Ivorian middle-man, who could help her reach the European “El Dorado”. When Prisca left her job in Abidjan, she entrusted her children to her sister before leaving the country. Since then, she has entered the hell that is the slave trade. Forced to work for a Tunisian family, and taken on a route with no return, she made her way to Libya, before dying in the Mediterranean Sea in September 2016.
