Every day, thousands of miles from here, driven by an incredible sense of hope, people set out with the intention of getting to Europe. Dury travels with these men and observes the hardship, dangers and the hopes they have for a better future. From Agadez to Djanet, from Niger into Algeria, the ordeal they undergo is carefully documented in this film and for a brief moment steals them from the invisibility that awaits them.
Olivier Dury (Paris, 1967) graduated from the Vancouver Film School in Canada. He has done different jobs in the film world and is currently working as a cameraman and director. Mirages is his first film.
