Windrush: Portraits of a Generation
Windrush: Portraits of a Generation
Marking the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush to British shores in 1948, cameras follow a project spearheaded by King Charles. He commissioned 10 leading artists, from Britain and abroad, to create portraits of 10 pioneering members of the Windrush Generation. The sitters, many in their nineties, speak frankly about their experiences of arriving in Britain, making lives for themselves, and the contribution they have made to their communities and the nation
Windrush: Portraits of a Generation airs on BBC Four at 10:50 PM, Sunday 22 June. (Subtitles, audio description.)
