The Manhunt


Presentation

On 16 August 2001, panic took hold of the nearly two hundred undocumented immigrants camping in Barcelona’s Plaça André Malraux. The police action surprised the group of sub-Saharans and North Africans, many of whom tried to escape by throwing themselves down the stairs of the metro, which turned out to be a mousetrap as the accesses were blocked. It was a manhunt.
