The Migration Dilemma

Available for over a year

As the migration crisis intensifies, Edward Stourton hosts a live debate which looks beyond the harrowing daily headlines to ask what it really means for Britain and the rest of Europe. Cutting through familiar polarised positions, a panel of experts place the current situation within its proper historical context and assess the moral obligations that face the UK. And if this is just the start of seismic population shifts, what are the long-term implications? Producers: Jim Frank and Lucy Proctor.
