Title: The French Farmer Smuggling Migrants in the Alps

Short summary: For 15 years, Cédric Herrou has tended chickens and grown olive trees at his farm in the village of Breil-sur-Roya, in the valley of the River Roya. Herrou is now part of a network of villagers, perhaps 200 in total, who shelter migrants and organise food runs to Ventimiglia, across the Italian border. The article goes in-depth into the story of people helping illegal migrants cross into France.

The article follows up on Daniel Trilling’s award-winning article What to Do with the People Who do Make it Across?
