What does it mean to be a global citizen when walls and borders are back in vogue? How do you create a permanent home that’s a sanctuary? And what does permanence and sanctuary even mean when borders are being re-drawn and the ground is shifting beneath your feet?
In this episode we meet Amy Hochadel and Monica Cunningham who met on the political campaign trail in Ohio - one of America’s most hotly contested battleground states. A couple who have also made a permanent and life-changing investment in London. But at a time when the winds of change are howling across Britain and America, their sense of sanctuary and belonging is starting to feel precarious.
