In Tijuana, Mexico, we find a community of US deportees displaced from their ‘American Dream’, but still intimately connected through their work as call centre operators (Call Center Blues). In the mangrove forests of Cambodia, a young woman watches as the very sand that supports her ecosystem is extracted and relocated hundreds of miles away (Lost World).

The programme includes My Brother’s Keeper, in which a prisoner and his guard reunite in Mauritania, 13 years after they last saw each other in Guantanamo Bay, and Darlin, which follows a Honduran family separated in Texas under the USA’s zero-tolerance policies.

But, before dislocation comes location, and a sense of place, belonging and re-settling underpins all of these thought-provoking films.
