Don't Deport Me; I'm British (2017x165)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Haz 27, 2017

In this emotionally charged one off one hour film, BBC Three follows the stories of three young men. All came to Britain as kids, grew up here and feel British. But after becoming adults, they discover the shocking news that the British government no longer welcomes them in the UK. 20-year-old Bashir has lived in Cardiff for eleven years but is desperately fighting deportation back to Afghanistan. He hasn’t been there since he saw his father murdered by the Taliban, aged nine, and he escaped to Britain. We meet 22-year-old Londoner Francois, a few days after his deportation to Jamaica, where he hasn’t been since he was seven. He has a criminal record but feels the Home Office deported him unfairly, by using an operation designed to expel dangerous criminals. Torn apart by the separation from his four-year-old son, he is determined to get back to the UK. 20-year-old Bok was deported back to Bangladesh in 2015 just before his A Levels, after living in Eastbourne for seven years. But has he told the full truth about why he was sent to the UK in the first place by his family? And, as a victim of trafficking, was it justifiable for the British government to send him back?
