With numbers of immigrants rising in the UK and laws changing around the possibility of work, this documentary series explores the lives of Romanians trying to make a new life in Britain.

Originally broadcast on Channel 4, Tuesday 17 February 2015.

Not just watchable and balanced (it is neither patronising nor handwringingly worthy), The Romanians Are Coming is moving, and human, the personal side of a political story. Such an important story too, in the upcoming election, and in this part of the world today. You can’t ask for a lot more of a documentary.
