Mustafa Gundogdu's home is a hill village in Central Anatolia, or was until recently. This April he left it to try his luck for a job in Germany and a new life in the West.

A BBC crew followed him on his long journey - through Turkey to Istanbul, through the trials and tribulations of the tests and checks of the Turkish and German authorities to decide his suitability and fitness, and through the Balkans on a workers' train bound for Bavaria, and through his first weeks on an assembly line of a vast car factory in Munich. He was only one of the thousands of Mediterranean poor who stream into the developed countries of West Europe to do the jobs which nobody else wants, in one of the biggest migrations of labour this century.
