Ticket to hide...and Britons offering a ride through Calais
Jane Deith
My latest File on 4 set out to test how difficult - or easy - it is for migrants rescued from the Mediterranean to leave Southern Italy and cross the borders into France - and the UK.
I met and followed the progress of 25 year old Eritrean, Jonas. An electrical engineer who says he was forced to leave Eritrea when the government came looking for him after a friend skipped the country, he wants to do a masters in the UK.
Some bits of his under the radar journey were surprisingly easy - others were hard.
Hear his progress in the programme on my Investigative page or here.
