Documentary series uncovering the reality of life for immigrants who come to Wales to try to build new lives. In this edition, award-winning Turkish chef Faruk awaits a decision from the Home Office over the renewal of his visa, but he cannot work at his restaurant whilst his case is pending for fear of facing a 拢20,000 penalty. Even if his visa is granted, the business will have to rebuilt from scratch. Syrian doctor Hussam fled the war after risking his life on the frontline of the conflict, settling into a new life in Wales. But while he can speak English, he has been unable to pass an English test that will allow him to work as a doctor, and he is considering a change of profession. Meanwhile, ordinary Welsh families and groups have come together to offer their homes and support to help vulnerable refugees.
