'All by myself' explores the lives of three refugees to the UK, in their own words telling the story of why they were forced to flee, what they found when they arrived and of their difficulties in accessing suitable work. It was produced as part of the ESF funded project: 'Comparing the Labour Market Discrimination experienced by refugee and Black and minority ethnic communities'

'This has been a challenging but very rewarding project. It has allowed us to understand better what the main barriers are to refugee employment and to start to explore strategies to overcome them. It has enabled the research team to engage with refugee communities, trade unions and employers and, particularly through the production of the film, it provides a unique dissemination tool for the research.'
