Inside Story: The Appeal

on BBC Two England

The story of one man's attempt to reunite under one roof the woman he claims is his wife, and the child he claims is his daughter.

The action of this documentary moves from Lyallpur in North Pakistan, to Islamabad, to Bradford and Leeds as Mohammed Akram tries to prove to British Immigration Officers that Rafiqa is his wife and entitled to live in Britain.
Finally it is up to the adjudicator of an immigration appeals hearing in Leeds to exercise the wisdom of Solomon. Is Mohammed Akram a liar, and Rafiqa an impostor? Or are they, in fact, man and wife?
