Beaten Back (2021x6)

Air date: Jun 25, 2021

Seyi Rhodes reports on the migrants being beaten back from the European Union by border guards on the notorious Balkan Route. A once-welcoming Europe is now closing its doors, and Serbia has become a bottleneck for thousands of people trying to get through the increasingly hostile route. Rhodes meets beaten and bruised men trying to leave Serbia, and witnesses the families living in government camps too frightened to make the journey. He also hears how the animosity is fuelling a small but growing right-wing political movement.
