Shortlist, Bosnia, The Mountain of Despair by JM Lopez

Since the closure of the Serbian-Hungarian border to migrants, many have instead chosen to cross from Bosnia into Croatia. However, for many, the dream of a new life turns into a nightmare, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has called for investigations into reports of violence and excessive use of force. Yet still, every day, dozens of migrants attempt to cross into Croatia from the neighbouring Bosnian city of Bihac, recognisable by their backpacks full of clothes, food and water. The situation worsened over winter, with temperatures reaching minus 15°C, causing the closure of the Vucjak camp, where hundreds of people remained housed in tents.
