He had been stuck in immigration limbo in a terminal at Charles de Gaulle Airport since the late 80s. Apparently, his arrival at the airport itself was deemed "legal", but he couldn't legally go anywhere else, so he truly was trapped in a sort of "nowhere" at the airport. I just Googled him, and apparently his stay at the airport ended in 2006 due to illness, and he has been living in a Paris shelter since then. I also just read that Spielberg bought the rights to his story and based "The Terminal" on it.<br /><br />Here's a link to a short Vimeo except from a documentary (one of several) on him:<br /><br />https://vimeo.com/9805527<br /><br /><br />-Rafer<br />Rafer Nelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805847856852183645noreply@blogger.com
