Thousands of people from Hong Kong have left everything they knew behind to start a new life in the UK since last year. From Warrington to Reading, over a hundred thousand took up the British government's offer of a new visa route, escaping a government accused of eroding their freedoms and liberties. As they navigate their new life in the UK, Elaine Chong follows the journey of some of them to find out if it's all they hoped for, and finds a community that's trying to restart their life but experiencing many of the same tensions they left behind.
