About “We’re Being Driven Out” | A Community Divided by Migration

In the heart of Sheffield’s Page Hall, a community is struggling with poverty, housing insecurity and growing tensions over migration. Long-term residents say they no longer recognise the area they once called home, with some claiming they are being pushed out as the neighbourhood changes around them. But behind the heated debate are deeply personal stories of hardship, survival and the search for belonging. The documentary follows Joanne, a pregnant young woman living in desperate conditions and fighting to find a safe home before her baby arrives. As she struggles with homelessness, addiction and the fear of losing her child, the people around her face difficult questions about family, responsibility and the future. From outspoken residents demanding change to migrant families building new lives, this powerful documentary explores the divisions, frustrations and human stories behind one of Britain’s most controversial debates.

Climate change and displacement - How people are being forced to flee their homes

Over the past 10 years, climate change has displaced an average of 70,000 people, every day. This, according to figures from the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR. Poorer countries are particularly hard hit. There is no universal legal framework that would offer these people protection. Climate-induced displacement is not recognised as a valid ground for asylum under the Geneva Convention. Now, three countries in Latin America, the Pacific and Asia are responding to an emergency that directly affects each of them. One of these countries is Bangladesh. It is one of the places most severely affected by climate change. In 2024, around 2.4 million people in Bangladesh became internally displaced. Most of them lost their homes due to a natural disaster. Cyclones and tropical storms cause devastating damage, while rising sea levels are flooding mangrove forests and agricultural land. Melting glaciers in the Himalayas are causing flooding along the rivers. In new model villages, communities displaced by soil erosion and salinization are being provided with accommodation and land. In Colombia, pressure from lawyers led to the legal recognition of the first
