Current TV: The Big Move

You must have heard it many times by now that China is currently witnessing the biggest mass migration the world has ever known. The government says there are about 120 million migrant workers on the move, while some experts contend that there are over 200 million.

Other episodes in this excellent three-part series relate to Mexican workers in the US and Iraqi refugees living in Syria.
