Synopsis:

Sean McAllister's Hull's Angel saw him return to his home city to examine the impact of an influx of 1,500 asylum seekers. Tina, a former housewife, sets out to help them despite local hostility. Tina's daughter Nicola is the first to marry an asylum seeker: Mohammed, a Kurdish Iraqi. Tina herself is in a trying relationship with an asylum seeker half her age. The film follows Tina for a year as she loses her job, is shunned by her family, and is spat on and punched in the streets for helping the mostly Kurdish refugees. All this as she wonders whether her boyfriend, who is already married, just wants a passport out of her. He sends his money to his wife in Iraq while Tina takes a job slaughtering chickens.
