BBC Radio 4 - Crossing Continents, Poland's New Immigrants

Paul Henley meets the migrants heading to Poland, attracted by its thriving economy.

Paul Henley meets the migrants who are flowing towards Poland, attracted by its thriving economy.

For decades, Poland has been a country of emigrants travelling to build new lives abroad, not least in the UK. But could things be about to change? Paul Henley travels to the country at the eastern edge of the EU, where the financial crisis has, so far, been avoided. He meets the migrants already making a life in Europe's least multicultural society, and explores the conditions that suggest Poland could be on the cusp of becoming a destination; home to a new wave of migrants.
Producer: Lila Allen.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
