Tales From the Border Episode Four takes us to an informal migrant camp in the woods not far from the Serbian border with Croatia. Here we meet a group of men — mostly from Syria and Iraq — who have decided to leave the official camps to squat in an abandoned house in the forest.

While they cook over a campfire, the men talk about how the police and army from various countries work to push them back, and their journeys after leaving their home countries. Many talk about trying to cross the border into Romania, which is also not too far away from the camp, after they realized that the way through Croatia and Hungary is almost completely impossible.

Some men have tried to cross more than 40 times in five months over various borders.
