From the musician:

“When Director Damian Weilers came to me with the idea of using The Road as a soundtrack to the plight of those displaced in Calais, I knew that this could be a platform to focus attention on an issue we both felt was important.

To me, this isn’t a political issue – it is a humanitarian one. While European governments argue, the pressure increases. On borders, on local communities, on lorry drivers who find themselves unwittingly carrying human cargo – but most of all, on those who have become stateless and desperate.

Damian went to Calais with an open mind and came away moved by the kindness and openness of people who have nothing and just want the chance to work for a better life. People who for a myriad of reasons find the place they once called home unstable and dangerous, and that to stay would mean risking their lives.”
