Who Should We Let In? Ian Hislop on the First Great Immigration Row

About This Movie

So, 'Who Should We Let In?' is this interesting doc that dives into a really pivotal point in British history, you know, back when immigration laws were starting to take shape. Ian Hislop, with his sharp wit, guides us through the Victorian era up to World War I, which is a fascinating backdrop, and he really knows how to make these topics engaging. The pacing feels just right; it doesn't drag but gives you enough time to absorb the weight of the themes. The atmosphere is both serious and a bit cheeky, which is typical Hislop. You get a mix of archival footage and commentary that feels quite personal—almost like he’s having a conversation rather than lecturing.
