Doel is a small village in Belgium that is being demolished to make way for the expansion of the Antwerp port. The inhabitants have been forced to move, because the village has to be empty by the end of August 2009. This small place in Belgium, with just 200 inhabitants, has attracted attention for years from (European) photographers and filmmakers. And FOTODOK finds that interesting.
