Summary/Abstract: Post-Cold-War global events have pushed the hitherto shadowy figure of the migrant centre-stage: she has become the embodiment of a contrasting ideological landscape in which unprecedented levels of mobility wage daily battle with renewed anxieties about the ‘stranger within’ and the invading ‘Other’ from outside. In a post-1989 European context, this mobility has translated into successive waves of immigration from East-Central Europe to the West, which have shaped debates on integration, human rights, citizenship, cultural diversity and national identity. The article looks at contemporary cinematic and television productions that problematize the impact of this phenomenon in Britain, with particular focus on Channel 4’s three-part series The Romanians Are Coming (2015) and Ken Loach’s hybrid docu-drama It’s a Free World, 2007.
