 
    During the sixties thousands of Portuguese people emigrated to France "on the hop", such was the name of the clandestine journey of those looking for a new destination.
We propose that you take, not a bumpy ride like the ones from that era, but a leap to Melgaço on the August 5th and 6th, and share with us the program we have prepared as part of MDOC - Melgaço International Documentary Film Festival.
