On the Receiving End had its UK premiere at the Article 19 seminar on Refugees and the UK Media on 15 May.

BBC editorial policy chief Stephen Whittle immediately asked if it could be shown it at a special meeting of senior editors in June. The following day Home Office officials asked if it could be shown at the annual review of the work of its Refugee Integration Unit.
