In a makeshift tent in a muddy forest, these men are waiting for the chance at a new life.
Soon, these Vietnamese migrants hope a man will arrive to deliver on his promise – to smuggle them into England.
They have forked out £25,000 to get this far – first 6,000 miles from China into Germany, before finally being driven to France where they were left in a muddy camp in Bethune,
For now they must wait for the most risky part of the journey – to somehow get into the UK.
But they have come too far to turn around.
Duk, 18, who comes from Ha Tinh province, said: “Of course we are all scared. We have heard what happened to the other people in the trailer.
“But we have come this far and are too close to England to stop. We have to get across and some way or other we will.
“He said he would be back but we haven’t seen him since. I’m hoping he comes soon before it gets to cold here.
“One thing is sure, I will not be going into the back of a cold trailer. It’s either in a container or a car I don’t want to end up dead.”
