What happens after deportation? In the Shadows of Utopia: Meet the Deported  hightlights the lives of migrants forced to return.

For many irregular migrants, the journey to Europe or the U.S. is a leap of faith, with time, money, and personal safety put on the line in the hope of a better future. Yet, in Europe alone, each year, more than half a million people are deported or turned away as soon as they reach their destination.
