past work: gambia's migration

At the start of the migration crisis of 2015, the Gambia, a small nation situated within the West African country of Senegal reported the highest numbers trying to cross the sea into Europe. Called "The Back Way", thousands of young Gambian men take the harrowing journey overland from the Gambia into Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, then Niger, through the desert to Libya and it they make it out of Tripoli, the treacherous sea crossing into Europe. These men and women risk everything to provide a better life for their families.
