Florida's political refugees

Who are the Americans calling themselves 鈥榩olitical refugees鈥�? From Miami to Chicago, Lucy Proctor meets the conservatives and liberals swapping states.

Americans on both sides of the political spectrum are escaping states they no longer feel comfortable in - they鈥檙e calling themselves 鈥榩olitical refugees鈥�. And the sunshine state of Florida is at the heart of this political sorting.

How can one US state be both a safe haven for Americans fleeing their homes in the north and a dangerous threat to liberal families?

From Miami to Chicago, Lucy Proctor traces the journeys of America鈥檚 homegrown refugees, meeting progressives and conservatives making their move. Through their crossing paths, she explores what is behind this new wave of domestic migration, and what it might mean for America鈥檚 future.
