Immigration is often discussed in terms of politics and statistics, but what happens when the law stands between a husband and wife, or a parent and child? In this moving documentary, we follow four British families fighting for their right to live together. From a musician in Wales separated from his Russian wife to a father in Bromley racing across the globe to witness the birth of his son, these are the untold stories of the "18,600 Rule." Discover how a 2012 change in UK family migration laws created a financial threshold that has left over 15,000 children living in "Skype families." Can these families overcome the immense financial and emotional hurdles to reunite, or will the system keep them apart forever?
Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.
