Their Hardest Walk

9 min / 2015

The people are so nice, but the government is ugly – that's how migrants summarize their experience with Hungary. The government cancelled their trains, so 1500 migrants decided to walk from Budapest to the Austrian border. Their exceptional determination defeated the government's latest policies, and in the end the government sent buses to help them get to the border. Moreover, Austria suddenly reopened their gates and welcomed them.

I followed a group of migrants with my camera who desperately started to walk from Budapest, Hungary to the Austrian border in order to find shelter.
