A dark vision of a near-future in which the United Kingdom is divided by
borders. In the not so distant future, the UK has fragmented. Layla and
her daughter are on a desperate mission across borders from England,
through Wales and over the Irish Sea. Based on the stories and
experiences of real refugees, Borderland is a thriller about what it
means to be a displaced person in the 21st Century. It explores the rise
of the UK's various nationalisms via a nightmare future. But it also
offers a unique perspective on the urgent issue of global migration -
by giving British listeners a taste of what it might be like to be
pushed to leave your home, in a desperate search for a better life.
