Illegal immigrants, believed to number over 600,000, are at the sharp end of the debate about immigration in Britain – yet are frequently hidden from public view. In this powerful film, Fergal Keane, who has reported for BBC News from all over the world, finds out what ice is really like for a group of illegals struggling to survive on British streets. He asks what drew them here, follows their battles to heath the system and shows how ineffective the authorities can be in dealing with them. Keane discovers that even for those willing to return home it can be an uphill struggle. He meets a man who has lived illegally in the UK for eight years and is now stranded, despite being willing to go home, as well as a Lithuanian couple who are in the UK legally but squat in a public park as they struggle to get a roof over their heads.
