The Promised Land?

A new series of four 50-minute documentary films about ways the process of immigration affects people and the societies involved. 1: A Question of Colour
In this first programme a number of West Indian ex-servicemen and women describe their reception in Britain immediately after the war. They recall their hopes and fears and how they had to cope with the harsh reality of British attitudes to race and colour from the late 1940s to the mid 1960s.
The wider social background of these questions of race and discrimination is provided by interviews with Dipak Nandy , former Director of the Runnymede Trust
Professor Kenneth Little of Edinburgh
The Rt Hon Aubrey Jones (former MP) and by the extensive use of revealing archive newsreel and current affairs film material.
