As Poland celebrates 100 years of independence, a struggle is underway over the future direction of the country. Will a new self-confident Poland close the door to immigrants and turn its back on the EU? Yalda Hakim meets ordinary Poles, some urging immigrants to assimilate or leave. She also meets far right political leaders who hope to be part of the mainstream and one of Poland's first openly gay politicians, who is confident he can build an inclusive national liberal movement. So where does all this leave Poland's newest arrivals, immigrants and refugees, many of whom experience racism on a daily basis?

The programme includes some offensive language.
