Every year thousands of Africans leave their families behind and risk their lives in hope of a better life. Ditte Haarløv Johnsen's new film "Days of Hope" brings us close to these people, providing an inside look at the struggles these emigrants face.
The film moves between the Mauritanian coastal town of Nouadhibou, a starting point for the often fatal journey to Europe; across Sicilian asylums for illegal boat refugees, where those that survive the crossing languish behind bars; and finally - the harsh reality of the streets of Copenhagen.
