Population Change. Migration in the U.K
Description
Every new migrant has a different story to tell, but most of those stories are based on the desire for a better way of life. Through the experiences of several newcomers and their families, this program explores the history, causes, and impact of migration in the U.K. Viewers meet a former nurse who left West Africa to help support more than 30 family members back home, a Latvian farm worker doing labor-intensive chores that native Britons shunned, and a Kurdish journalist who fled Iran due to the threat of imprisonment. The video looks at the problems faced by the migrants and sheds light on why people would endure so much to earn wages in a foreign land.
