Cole Moreton walks through Calais and Dover finding out what life is like beyond Brexit headlines. What are the people like, what do they have in common and what keeps them apart?

In this two-part series, writer Cole Moreton explores what life is like beyond the headlines in Dover and Calais – two ports that are often half-forgotten but that have a front seat view of history. He asks what the people are like, what they have in common and what keeps them apart beside the sea.

In this episode, Cole arrives in Dover and speaks to fishermen who have rescued migrants from the Channel, a teenage Afghan who made the crossing in a chip lorry, and a yacht commodore who joined the French Foreign Legion.
