| Summary |
*Coarse language*An audacious social experiment was carried out at a British market town in Cambridgeshire, where 11 immigrants were temporarily removed from their jobs and the work given to unemployed locals. Since 2004, the town has received 9000 immigrants seeking work, mostly from eastern Europe. But many of the nearly 2000 locals unemployed and claiming benefits, blame the foreign workers for their predicament.The 11 locals recruited to fill the migrants' jobs go into a range of workplaces, including a potato company, an asparagus farm, an Indian restaurant and a building site run by a local landlord. As the British come to grips with their new jobs and discover some not so savoury aspects of them, many of the myths around the subject of immigration are dispelled.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Presented by Evan Davies; Produced and Directed by Jaimi West for Leopard Films UK |
