A historic Tuscan textile town has the highest concentration of Chinese immigrants to locals in Europe. We travel to Prato to investigate the effects of mass immigration to the city since Chinese workers began arriving in the 90s. We find stories of exploitation in factories, money laundering and Chinese mafia allegations. But could the younger generations hold the key to bridging the gap between the Chinese and Italian communities in Prato?
