It's a Free World...
Angie may not have much formal education but she's got energy, wit and ambition, and she's in her prime. Not for the first time she's out of a job. Angie and her flatmate Rose decide they can be their own boss. They set up a recruitment agency for immigrant workers, which operates in a twilight world where labour is cheap and laws are made to be ignored. Maybe they represent these times: the chance to make as much money as possible, regardless of the consequences, is tempting. But at what cost? Starring relative new-comers Kierston Wareing and Juliet Ellis in the searing lead roles.
