An unflinching, observational documentary from the frontline of Britain's fractious asylum system.
Filmed as events unfold, we see a transformation from anonymous protester to a prominent figure in Britain’s growing anti-immigration movement. Thousands take to the streets, peaceful protest gives way to direct action, confrontation and arrests, and right-wing livestreamers descend on the town, broadcasting the conflict to an online audience. The British Government then announce wider plans to ramp up the use of military barracks to house asylum seekers, stoking fears of community division across the UK.
Commissioned by Channel 4 Documentaries. Distributed globally by All3Media International.
