Inside the Migrant Hotel - File on 4 Investigates
Description
It's a familiar story from the outside. Around 32,000 people are housed in migrant hotels around the UK and protests outside them have been violent and vocal.
Sue Mitchell has spent the summer getting to know a different side of the story - what life is like Inside the migrant hotels - and she's seen and heard some striking things:
Families who have been seeking asylum for nearly a decade;, a stream of prepaid taxis taking migrants to medical appointments and transporting them across the UK, families cooking meals in secret in hotel bathrooms and a system that appears to be broken, according to the people within it.
These are the first recordings that have been made of this kind. It's a story that has dominated the news, but hasn't been heard from the inside until now.
All names have been changed to protect the identities of hotel residents and staff.
