We Came by Sea is an untold story of the small boats crisis, a story
which shows the best of us. It is the story of the volunteers who help
thousands of refugees in Calais, of the lifeboat crews mounting one of the
great search and rescue operations of all time, of an unrecognised,
uncelebrated, all but unknown Britain which is giving its all to help the
vulnerable and desperate. It is a journey through an unexamined nation, a
nation which is as truly great and good as the people in the
dinghies believe Britain to be. It is not the story we have been told, and it
is a true story.
