Human face of British immigration
Immigration in the UK is far more complex than sensationalist tabloid articles and fear mongering politicians would have you believe.
Local Foreigners tells real stories of the people behind the headlines — individuals who are far more than the sum of political currency, frightening photos and clickbait tropes.

Local Foreigners aims to reclaim the narrative and explore what it truly means to be an immigrant in the United Kingdom.
