In a unique blend of investigation, observation and satire, British-Iranian comic-actor Omid Djalili explores the lives of refugees fleeing to England to avoid persecution.
Following the struggles of trying to find work and living off vouchers, while attempting to break the language barrier, Omid presents a picture of a land that offers little hope and no glory to the majority of asylum seekers.
