A Better Life from joanne ball on Vimeo.

Record numbers of British citizens are leaving the UK. Immigration and the flow of people is one of the biggest issues facing the ‘developed’ world. But it is not just a one way street. This film is a lyrical document of the thoughts and feelings of seven British outflow migrants, their reasons for leaving the UK and their reflections of ‘home’.
