”Den danske kunstner Aske Kreilgaard efterlod sit liv og befandt sig i Calais-junglen. Dybt inde i flygtninge- og migrantlejren i centrum af den europæiske migrantkrise. Aske levede og arbejdede blandt tusindvis af flygtninge, mange af dem mindreårige. Under ekstreme forhold, som Human Rights Watch beskrev som “Like Living Hell”, begyndte Aske sammen med et lille hold af frivillige at hjælpe hjælpeorganisationer. Med støtte fra frivillige og organisationer som ‘Save the Children’ og ‘Help Refugees’ grundlagde han ‘Baloos Youth Centre’, senere ‘Refugee Youth Service Calais’, og bragte kunst, kreativitet og håb til små børn, der havde mest brug for det. Bliv inviteret ind i en verden af tab og håb gennem en fængslende tale med hans fortællinger inde fra en flygtningelejr.”
