How do refugee crises end?

100 Years of Exile

Available for over a year

Katy Long concludes her history of 100 years of refugee politics, as she examines how to 'solve' a refugee crisis. A century on from a refugee crisis on Europe's borders which lead to the first High Commissioner for Refugees being appointed, Katy is examining how refugee crises start, what it is like to be a refugee, how the business of supporting refugees has changed (and grown), and how refugee crises end. She's speaking to refugees and former refugees, to those who work with them and to the politicians who decide what will become of them. In this third and final episode Katy will examine how refugee crises end - how they might be solved. Hearing stories from Paraguay to Israel and Rwanda to the United States, Katy will examine return and resettlement, but in the end she asks who are these solutions really for. Producer: Giles Edwards Assistant Producer: George Dabby.
