How has government policy made crossing the Channel on small boats more dangerous? What’s it like working with children in Calais? How is the treatment of migrants in Calais mirrored in the UK immigration system? And why do migrants avoid photographers and the press?

In this week’s special extra episode, Zack Polanski speaks to Lily MacTaggart, from Humans for Rights Network.
