This new film based on a four hundred year old speech shows fear of immigration is nothing new. In 1517 anti-immigrant riots broke out in London. Thomas More, then a deputy Sheriff of the city, intervened. Decades later William Shakespeare wrote a speech for the play 'Sir Thomas More', in which More defended asylum seekers - 'the strangers'.

'I love it' - Russell Brand

'I loved this...It's a glorious piece of film...speaks across centuries. It's Shakespeare meets Shameless.' - 
Lawrence Till, Director/Producer, Shameless, Channel 4
