What happens when you deprive a British town of its foreign work-force?

The Day The Immigrants Left is an audacious social experiment that seeks to answer precisely this question.

A ratings smash in the UK, this highly individual format tackles one of the hottest political issues of our time.  Hosted by the BBC's Evan Davies, this 60 minute film challenges the indigenous residents of a small town to do the jobs they claim have been stolen by foreigners.  Along the way it examines the impact that immigration has had on the wider community before delivering a damning verdict on how the townsfolk performed in their new jobs.
