This programme looks at the living conditions of these men, women and children who live without papers, insurance and other things that we take for granted. Difficult questions are raised because Europe’s agriculture, catering and health service sectors would simply not be able to function without them. The film includes footage from the UK, Germany, Spain and China plus a well-made reconstruction of the Morecambe Bay cockle-picking tragedy. |  This documentary follows one Dalit woman's crusade against the atrocities suffered by her people – the untouchables. She is Ruth Manorama, winner of the Right to Livelihood Award (also known as the Alternate Nobel Peace Prize). Watch her story from inside the ghettoes of the untouchables. |
