Air date: Mar 17, 2017

They come in the dead of night, in the bitter cold - refugees seeking haven in Canada. Hundreds have crossed the border from the United States in the last couple of months alone.

The Fifth Estate’s new co-host Habiba Nosheen looks at the hopes, the fears and the long legal battles to get to stay in Canada.
