Meet the Immigrants

Synopsis: This DVD contains the six programmes from the BBC1 observational documentary series which looks at the lives of several members of the new wave of inward migration into the UK. It takes the audience into areas seldom explored, showing lives normally only stereotyped. We see why they come, what they do, how they survive. The programmes also reflect the ongoing national debate on Immigration and explore the common themes - industrious newcomers performing unskilled jobs that Britons won’t do or opportunists in search of an easy life, attracted by the UK’s flexible laws and systems. The series goes beyond the headlines and shows life from the perspective of the immigrant. Narrated by David Morrissey.
