From free school meals to the High Court: Ali’s story

Season 4 Episode 6

Ali grew up in Wales on free school dinners with four other siblings. This is the story of how he made an extraordinary success of himself and how his experience of difference tallies with his work as an immigration barrister. What gives some children the drive to move beyond their background?  Who influenced Ali?  How will it change for the next generation?
