Les mythes sont porteurs de voyages et de migrations. Les Africains viennent encore souvent chercher le « salut » et la fortune en Europe, la tête remplie d’images idylliques de l’eldorado. Mais le « jugement dernier », c’est toujours là-bas, en Afrique, qu’il est donné : il faut réussir et le montrer. La honte guette ceux qui rentreraient les mains vides, sans valider ce mythe, cette image rêvée de Paris. Pourtant, la réalité est sans pitié. La vie des immigrés africains à Paris ressemble parfois à un combat démesuré et le rêve peut tourner à l’enfer. Il faut alors mentir, se mentir aussi parfois.

Dans les deux cas, le passage obligé de nombreux migrants d’Afrique pour atteindre l’Espagne ; un passage qui ne serait pas aussi dangereux si les autorités frontalières ne cherchaient pas à les empêcher de passer, coûte que coûte…

January 2010, Rosarno, Calabria. Widely publicized immigrant riots exposed the unjust and squalid conditions that thousands of African laborers, exploited by an economy controlled by the Calabrian mafia, endure on a daily basis. For a brief moment, the immigrants caught the attention of the Italian public, who responded to these protests with fear and violence. In a few hours, the immigrants in question were "evacuated" from Rosarno and the problem was "resolved." But the faces and the stories of those involved in the riots at Rosarno tell a different story.
